  1. Diocesan Clergy

There are 136 Diocesan Priests incardinated into the Archdiocese of Bamenda working along with the Religious and Diocesan Priests from other Dioceses. Since 2014, 68 priests have been ordained for the Archdiocese of Bamenda. We render immense thanks to God for the increase in the number of vocations to the Priesthood. At the same time, we still acknowledge that, in spite of the increase, some parishes still have just a single priest to minister to them which means that there is still more need for priests.

As of now, 8 Diocesan Priests from the Archdiocese of Bamenda are studying out of the country, 6 are Fidei Donum Missionaries in the Diocese of Portsmouth in England, 1 in the Diocese of Galveston-Houston, and 1 is in the Archdiocese of Firenze in Italy, with which we have a partnership.  Six (6) Diocesan priests were called to rest by the Lord during this quinquennium.

The Diocesan Priests can be grouped according to the following age groups:

80 years and above:   1

70 – 80 years old:        10

60 – 70 years old:        30

50 – 60 years old:        30

40 – 50 years old:        38

30 – 40 years old:        17

25 – 30 years old:        10
