Missionaries of Africa
Addresses
Members of the Congregation
Missionaries of Africa, M.Afr.
The Society
of the Missionaries of Africa (The
White Fathers) was founded by Cardinal Charles Lavigerie Archbishop of
Aligiers in 1868. The society is a missionary family of priests and
brothers living in international communities. In 1869, Lavigerie
founded
a congregation of sisters called The Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of
Africa (the White Sisters).
From the very beginning, the
society dedicated its efforts to the task of proclaiming the Gospel to African.
More recently, this has been extended to include the people of the African
World. At the begining, when the missionaries of Africa began their
Apostolic work, they had to establish dioceses. Today that work continues
within the local dioceses.
Because of their North African
origins, the Missionaries of Africa maintain a special ministry with
Islam. In the early days, the Missionaries of Africa adopted the white
dress of the Arabs as their habit hence being called, “The White Fathers’.
As of 1.1.2003, the society
numbered 1,676 members of 35 nationalities. More than 40% of them are
engaged in the apostolate on the African continent in 96 dioceses in 23
African countries.
In response to the request made by an Ethiopian Bishop to the late Pope
Paul VI, the Missionaries of Africa came to Adigrat in 1967 in view
of assisting the education of the seminarians of the Eparchy of Adigrat.
In 1993, a community was opened
in Wukro where a school of Agriculture and Commerce was opened as well. In
1996, a Vocation Centre was opened in Wukro. It is to this centre, now called
St. Kizito, that students after Successfully completing their secondary school, go and prepare
themselves for a year before they start missionary training in Adigrat.
In 1999, a formation house was opened in Adigrat for the candidates to
study Philosophy. The students go to the Major Seminary of Adigrat for
three years. After Philosophy, they proceed to the Spiritual Year to either
Zambia or Burkina-Faso. They then continue with two years of apostolic
experience outside their country of origin, and then proceed to Theology
for three or four years.
