Chad

Chad is one of the poorest countries in Africa and the world. Our mission there started in 2011, as a joint venture between the Curia and COVIAM. It began in a very remote area of Chad, in the parish church at Bebalem, where celebrations were held under a very big tree. Thanks to the efforts made by the confreres, a big new church has been built. At Bebalem, the Daughters of Charity work closely with our confreres for the good of the poor. Last year, the Chad Mission started to expand and grow with a new missionary presence in Moundou.
We are ministering to extremely poor people at Bebalem, a very big parish with around 38 outstations. At Moundou, we are engaged in the ministry of formation of young people, the minor seminary. There is a great need for more missionaries in Chad. Recently, two other dioceses, N’Djaména and Doba, have asked for our presence, mainly for the formation of their clergy.
