The Society of African Missions is a Society of Apostolic Life. Members commit themselves to a solemn resolution, to be witnesses of the Gospel to the ends of the earth, particularly by serving the peoples of Africa, working to encourage vocations to the priesthood African Churches and in particular seeking to establish local Christian communities responsible and independent. We are also working to awaken the religious and missionary vocations for the universal Church.
We live in international apostolic communities and strive in our pastoral work, witness to the values of justice, peace, reconciliation and dialogue. Living in non-Christian environment, we strive to understand the authentic values of cultures and religions in mutual respect and collaboration. We often share community life with diocesan priests in the parishes.
