On Monday 11 May 2026, the Bishop of Sokodé (Togo), Bishop Célestin-Marie GAOUA, welcomed a group of Benedictine Missionary Sisters from Tutzing.
It is with hearts filled with gratitude and hope that we joyfully welcome the opening of our new community of the Benedictine Missionary Sisters of Tutzing in Togo. This new foundation marks an important moment in our missionary journey, as we continue to respond to God’s call to serve, to evangelise and to build communion amongst his people.
Warmly welcomed by Bishop Célestin-Marie Gaoua and the faithful of the Diocese of Sokodé, our community begins its mission rooted in the Benedictine values of prayer, hospitality, simplicity and service. We come not only as missionaries, but also as sisters and companions, ready to walk alongside the local Church and the people of Togo.
May this new community become a place of faith, peace and encounter — where God is sought in daily life and where every person is welcomed with love and dignity. Entrusting this mission to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the intercession of Saint Benedict and Saint Scholastica, we pray that our presence may bear fruit in unity, compassion and hope for generations to come.
“Ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus” — That God may be glorified.
