For me to be a saint means to be myself. Therefore the problem of sanctity and salvation is in fact the problem of finding out who I am and of discovering my true self.

- THOMAS MERTON

Our goal is to highlight African Saints, holy men and women, as witnesses of the inculturation of the faith and to create ways through which African Catholics can build community and grow in holiness.

It is our hope that learning about these Holy men and women will draw us closer to God and provide inspiration and deeper knowledge of intercessors to assist us in answering God’s call to holiness.
