Society of African Missions

The Society of African Missions (Latin: Societas Missionum ad Afros) is a Catholic society of apostolic life founded by Melchior de Marion Brésillac in 1856. Members add the nominal letters S.M.A after their names. They come from around the world with a commitment to serve the people of Africa and those of African descent. Fr. Antonio Porcellato is the current superior general.
