Welcome to the African Province!

We are a group of women religious with diverse cultural heritage asdressing, dancing, arts, language, etc. We are saying:

Zaare! E-kaabo! Bienvenue! Nnoo!

Akwaaba! Emedi! Ahinya owa laa!

Asor be song! Sanu de zuwa! Welcome!

In 1930, our first sisters from America and Europe arrived in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. Today, we minister in three African countries: Chad, Ghana and Nigeria. We work in organic agriculture, education, leadership training, health services, pastoral work and religious formation.

In whatever we do, we honor the richness of our cultures while fulfilling our mission of "helping others believe that God lives and acts in them and in our world."
