How African vocations are helping America
At Quartz Africa, Lekan Oguntoyinbo reported on “a growing trend in the Catholic Church in America: a rising number of African-born priests”.
Nobody knows the exact numbers, but there are some indicators, Fr Martins Emeh, a Nigerian-born priest and the former president of the African Conference of Catholic Clergy and Religious in the United States, estimates that in 2013 the Conference had about 300 members. He estimates that the total number was about 700 six years ago, and is much higher now.
