With hearts full of gratitude and hope, we joyfully welcome the opening of our new Benedictine Missionary Sisters of Tutzing Community in Togo. This new foundation marks a significant moment in our missionary journey as we continue to respond to God’s call to serve, evangelize, and build communion among His people.
Warmly received by the 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 as sisters and companions, ready to walk together with 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 St. Benedict and St. Scholastica, we pray that our presence may bear fruits of unity, compassion, and hope for generations to come.
“Ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus” — That in all things God may be glorified.
