Missions in Africa
The Sisters of Mary of the Presentation in partnership with the Diocesan Catholic Ministries serve at several missions in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Sisters provide medical care, spiritual education, and guidance to people in need.
At rural elementary schools, the Sisters provide religious and literacy education. The Sisters work in multiple schools teaching children who would otherwise not receive an education.
In hospitals and clinics, the Sisters provide desperately needed medical care to impoverished families. The Sisters provide nursing care, health education, food, and medicine.
In 2024, the Sisters built Centre Medical Catholique, a hospital in Douala, Cameroon serving the poor in that region. In 2025, the Sisters built a school in an impoverished region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The missions in Cameroon and DRC are supported by the international Sisters of Mary of the Presentation organization and individual sponsors from France, Canada, and the United States. 100% of donations to the Sisters’ missions go directly to helping people in critical need.
As the Sisters took up the mantle of serving the poor in Douala, Cameroon, the need for adequate health care became evident. So in 2020 the international community of Sisters of Mary of the Presentation made plans to build a hospital.
The hospital was completed in 2024 to great fanfare by the local population. The hospital serves people who would otherwise not be able to afford care. Through the Sisters’ work and your donations, many people have been saved from death, permanent disability, and disfigurement.
2021 Groundbreaking
2021-2024 Construction
2024 The Hospital Opens
Medical Needs Served
Since opening in 2024, the Sisters’ hospital in Cameroon has treated hundreds of needy people at low or no cost. Many of these people would not have been able to receive treatment otherwise, and no doubt many would have died without intervention. Donations have paid for new equipment, expanding the possible treatments available. In 2025, hospital staff performed their first emergency C-section.
The Sisters’ missions in Cameroon and DRC are possible because of your support.
From the bottom of our heart, THANK YOU!
Countless lives have been helped and saved because of your continued generosity.
May God bless you for your kindness to those in need!
