PICCOLE SERVE DEL SACRO CUORE MISSIONARIE CATECHISTE DEI NERI DI AFRICA

Italian original Cite

LITTLE SERVANTS OF THE SACRED HEART MISSIONARY CATECHISTS OF THE BLACKS OF AFRICA. - It originated at Menton through the sisters Alice and Maria Teresa Munet, following a suggestion by Fr. J.-M. Chabert, superior general of the Society of African Missions of Lyon, in 1922, with the purpose of contributing to the evangelization of the Blacks of Africa.

On April 24, 1933, the Congregation passed under the dependence of Propaganda, which thus regularized its canonical position. The Constitutions were approved by decree of July 8, 1935, for a five-year period, and definitively on December 30, 1949. At present the Society runs several "foyers" for Blacks in France and has missions in Africa. The professed sisters number 116, novices 6, postulants 3.
