Diocese of Camden - Ministry With the Deaf

04/21/2026

When most Catholics go to Eucharistic adoration, they bring their intentions: family, friends, vocation, healing, and the desire to do God’s will.

In Bamenda, a city in northwest Cameroon, the faithful bring all of that to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament — and one more urgent plea: that the shooting, kidnappings, and bloodshed around them might finally stop.

For years, Bamenda has stood at the center of Cameroon’s “Anglophone crisis,” a conflict between English‑speaking separatists and the French‑speaking central government.

Soldiers patrol the streets, separatist fighters blend in with civilians, and “ghost town Mondays” shut down schools and businesses. Leaving your house on those days can mean harassment, abduction, or worse.

And yet, in the middle of all this, something beautiful and surprising is happening. Under Archbishop Andrew Nkea, the Archdiocese of Bamenda is working to give every parish its own perpetual adoration chapel.
