Consolata Fathers
Addresses
Members of the Congregation

Consolata Fathers, IMC

Blessed Joseph Allamano, Founder of the Consolata Fathers and Sisters, earnestly wished to send Missionaries to Ethiopia, especially to the Oromo area.  To that purpose he asked permission from Propaganda Fide.

The reason of such a preference was due to the desire to continue the apostolic work of the great Capuchin Missionary Cardinal Massaia, whom Blessed Joseph Allamano admired very much.

Only in 1913 was that desire fulfilled, when the Consolata Fathers were entrusted with part of the so-called "Vicariate of Galla", as "Prefecture Apostolic of South Kaffa".  The same year, after its borders had been greatly modified, it was renamed "Kaffa Prefecture" (8 September 1913).

The First  Prefect Apostolic, Monsignor Gaudenzio Barlassina, appointed on 6 May 1913, arrived in Addis Ababa towards the end of 1916.  He had to wait about a year before entering into the territory entrusted to him.   He was Prefect Apostolic  from 1913 to 1933.

Monsignor Luigi Santa was  Prefect Apostolic and later Vicar Apostolic from 1933-1942.

In 1941, with the end of the Italian colonization in Ethiopia, the Consolata Missionaries were also among those expelled from the country.

In 1970, the Consolata Fathers humbly came back to Ethiopia, taking over the spiritual care of some missions in the Harar Vicariate.

In 1980 the new Prefecture of Meki was entrusted to them.  Fr. Giovanni Bonzanino was Administrator Apostolic from 1980 to 1981.  Then Monsignor Yohannes Woldeghiorghis took over as Prefect Apostolic.

New Bishop of Meki Vicariate Monsignor Abraha Desta (10th May 2003)

At present they minister in Addis Ababa Archdiocese, Apostolic Vicariate of Meki and in the Apostolic Vicariate of Nekemte.
