The brothers in the Ghana Province live in ten communities and a community annex at Bole in the Damongo diocese. These communities are based in Accra, Damongo/Bole, Kaleo, Nandom (Mt. Zion), Tamale (St. Vincent de Paul), Tumu (Bro. Bernardus Hoecken Community), Wa (St. Louis Community and Provincial House), Zebilla and Sunyani. The Brothers are mainly involved in primary, secondary and vocational/technical education, health (Diocesan Health Secretariat and Orthopaedic Service Centre), Street Children (Catholic Action for Street Children - CAS) and building projects (Bro. Bernardus’ Building Firm). Brothers are also variously involved in diocesan and parish activities, namely, the Parish pastoral Councils, Laity Councils, religious formation of the youth,  to mention but a few. In all these apostolic fields we give special preference to the poor, especially in remote areas. A number of our younger brothers are studying to upgrade their professional capabilities/skills both in Ghana as well as abroad so as to be able to meet the challenges of our apostolate.
