Price: $630.00
Note: The Spiritan Sisters arrived in Cameroon in 1924, taking advantage of the French mandate to establish themselves and work for social progress, in collaboration with the French administration of the time. After Cameroon's independence, the Spiritans continued their mission in collaboration with the new state, dedicating themselves to the education of Cameroonians. In December 2024, the congregation celebrated the Centenary of its presence in Cameroon, highlighting the extent of its social and educational work.
