Americas

The Province consists of Canada, USA and Mexico. Canada produced a huge number of Missionaries of Africa in the 20th Century. There are 75 Canadian confreres at present. The overwhelming majority (66) are now retired or working in Canada. There are 8 in Africa and 1 in the Generalate in Rome. The USA never had great numbers of Missionaries of Africa. Many of those were connected with Canada in one way or another (e.g. French speakers). There are 10 confreres originating in USA. 8 are working or retired in USA. There is 1 in Africa and 1 in the Generalate. Our mission in Mexico was founded specifically to present our African missionary charism in this overwhelmingly Catholic country. Until recently there was a Missionary of Africa presence in Brazil (Salvador de Bahia), but this has now been closed.
