Situated off the south west coast of Nigeria, not far from the great megacity of Lagos, here - in 1862 - began the story of evanglization by the SMA in Nigeria with the arrival of an Italian SMA priest, Fr Francesco Borghero.
Our Regional Superior for southern Nigeria, Fr Tim Cullinane SMA, reports on the visit he, and 13 SMA colleagues, recently made to this 'seedbed of the faith' in Nigeria. On right of our picture is Fr Eddie Hartnett SMA and on left is Fr Cullinane.SMA priests from Ireland, India and five African countries made up the group - truly the "new face" of the SMA.
