Subiaco Africa

Historical Directory of Subiaco-Cassinese Houses in Africa

1851

Establishment of “College for Blacks” at Genoa by Abbot Pietro Casaretto. Shortly afterwards this College (as part of the Monastic Missionary College founded in 1848) was moved to St Scholastica's Abbey, Subiaco, and finally to Sant'Ambrogio in the historic centre of Rome (1861-1880). At one point in the 1860s the small monastic community at Subiaco included two young black-Africans from the Sudan and an Australian aborigine from Sydney, all intended to return to their own people as missionaries. This is the beginning of the Subiaco-Cassinese Congregation's engagement with Africa.

1873

 

In 1873 Don Giuseppe Adriano Pio, First African Priest-Monk of the Congregation died at El-Obeid, in his native Sudan.  He had accompanied St Daniel Comboni on his mission to Central Africa and died soon after arrival.  His life story is similar in many respects to that of St Bakhita - see the article "D. Hadriano Pio : First African Monk" on the "Archive" page. 

 

1876

Djerba, Tunisia.

Three Italian monks of the Congregation were running a mission on the island of Djerba, just off the coast of Tunisia, from 1877-1880.  The mission closed when the monks were redirected to Auckland (New Zealand) and East Bengal.  These early missions of the Congregation were made in close collaboration with the Roman Congregation of Propaganda Fidei and none of them resulted in the canonical erection of monasteries: the monks were sent as individual missionaries.
