IN BENIN

The Beninese Mennaisian history begins at a place located 25 km from Parakou, a city with 120 000 inhabitants in the Midwest of Benin.

Thian. From 1988 to 1990, Bro. Jean Le Jeune works at the Trappist monastery of Kokoubou where he helps young people, aspirants to monastic life, to improve their knowledge. In 1991, in agreement with Bishop Asogba, archbishop of Parakou, a vocational center opens at Thian, a village located 5 km from Parakou. Academic help and discernment are the core of the activities of this household since its foundation.

Les Hibiscus-Parakou.
In 1998, the brothers answer a new call from Bishop Asogba, taking responsibility for “Les Hibiscus” College, at Parakou.
