The nascent community settled in what was then part of the Archdiocese of Lomé, in a village known as Danyi-Dzogbégan, located on an elevated plain some 170 km from the coast of Togo.
Additionally, the monks of Dzogbégan opened a hospital in order to provide health care to the people of surrounding villages.
By 1972, agricultural training and development programs sponsored by the monastic community were active in thirty villages.
Fr Robert Mawulawoe died January 03, 2006, after thirteen years of guidance and leadership of the monastery.
The monks provide further outreach to local Togolese in the form of a dispensary and a guest house.
