Spiritans
Addresses
Members of the Congregation

Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans)

The Spiritans came to Ethiopia in 1972. They took up ministry in two regions - Borana Zone of Oromiya Region and Gamo Gofa and South Omo Zones.

In Borana land they developed a primary evangelization program which made every effort to respect the local religious and social attitudes of the Borana people. They introduced the Gospel through the channels of dialogue that showed respect for the Borana culture. Educating is an integral part of their ministry. They operate three primary schools as well as a hostel in Yavello for secondary school students.

In Gamo Gofa the presence of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was widespread. The Spiritans have tried in every way possible to remove the scandal of division from evangelization by collaborating with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in her missionary effort, while welcoming those who wish to join the Catholic Church (eg. Amaro) and giving pastoral care to Catholics. Gamo Gofa was part of the Vicariate of Jimma, then Nekemte, and since 1993 is part of the Vicariate of Soddo-Hosanna. Development work, in particular under the form of a community-based  program, has been developed.
