ABOUT US
ADDRESS

The Bowman Francis Ministry is comprised of two Society of Divine Word (SVD) priests whose order has given them the charge to minister across the Diaspora to Black Catholics placing great emphasis on youth and young adults.

 A huge part of our ministry is  evangelization. Our goal is to  spiritually recharge Afrocentric communities by renewing interest, commitment and devotions within the Roman Catholic Church.
