Our Mission in  North America

The purpose of this appeal is to seek your financial, spiritual, and moral support for the preaching mission that the Dominican Friars of Nigeria and Ghana promote in preaching and the propagation of the faith. Keeping in mind that the Vidoe clip speaks to us in Africa, particularly Nigeria and Ghana. Nigeria is the largest province in Africa and has the most friars in formation in the world. Our Dominican House of Studies in Nigeria presently has over 100 seminarians preparing for the priesthood, and maintaining that number is a huge task. During the application process each year more than 300 young men apply to the order for admission to the formation program and sadly we can only choose 15 due to the lack of resources. 

​

As a group, we are currently the largest province of our order on the African continent and the fastest-growing entity of the Dominican order in the world. As Dominicans in Africa, our ministerial focus is evangelization through the preaching of the Gospel. For this purpose, we have our members working in the areas of promotion of vocations to the priesthood and religious life, formation of local clergy, primary and ongoing evangelization, dialogue with Islam, education of children in Catholic schools - elementary and high schools, colleges and universities - as well as hospital chaplaincies.

​

We are also involved in justice and peace ministries, including basic developmental ministries which help to concretely translate the Gospel into everyday life. These include youth development programs and primary health care delivery.
