The Presentation Brothers
in West Africa
To bring the message of Christ to young people in developing countries, we have Communities of Brothers in Ghana and Nigeria. Nigeria is a fast-growing part of our West Africa Province, and several Nigerian men are part of our postulancy programme and in our novitiate. Br Paul Atole was our first Nigerian Brother to be finally professed, while others have made temporary vows.
