PASTORAL WORKS OF THE ARCHDIOCESE

SOCIAL WELFARE CARITAS

The Social Welfare/Caritas Coordination Service of the Archdiocese of Bamenda was created in May 2007 with the appointment of Benedicta Muffuh as the Archdiocesan Coordinator of the Service. The Service was charged with the promotion of the social welfare of the people and the better organization of the Charity of the Local Church of the Archdiocese according the Encyclical Letter, Deus Caritas Est, of Pope Benedict XVI and the other relevant documents of the Magisterium.

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.

THE MARYVALE INSTITUTE

Paul VI Memorial Pastoral Centre was established quite some years ago before the period of this Quinquennial Report and it provides accommodation for the clergy, religious and laity for spiritual and pastoral activities. It also renders services to non-Church organizations. From the last Quinquennial Report, we have constructed and consecrated a befitting chapel and a hall for the Centre. The chapel also serves as a Mission Station church of Our Lady of Fatima Parish, Nta’afi.
