SMA

The SMA mission prioritize primary evangelization areas and places of special needs focusing primarily on Africa and the people of African origin. SMA members come from Europe, America (North and South), Asia and Africa herself. In all, majority of the SMA members from the very beginning till today have worked in Africa and among the people of African origin.


Being the first Catholic missionary congregation to arrive in some parts of Africa the Society of African Missions (SMA), has been at the fore front of planting churches in African communities and gradually withdrawing as the church become self-sustaining and only maintain a simple presence for the purpose of missionary vocation sourcing and fund raising for the assistance of other dependent churches.


The mission of the SMA in Nigeria has been about evangelization (the preaching of the good news) through education, promotion of primary health care, promotion of dialogue for a peaceful co-existence and the grooming of the youth.
