Catholic Culture reports:
Reporting on the life of the Church in the African nation of Togo, Father Benoit Eoevi Penoukou, national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies, says that the First Friday devotion is so deeply rooted that “entire villages fill the main parish for confessions on Thursday nights.” During October, “Catholics– and even some followers of evangelical churches– literally take the churches by storm” to pray the Rosary.
The number of Catholics in the West African nation has grown from 19,000 in 1914 to nearly 1.6 million (30% of the nation’s population) today. Read more from link here.
