SMA priests Francesco Borghero and Francisco Fernandez landed in the port of Ouidah in 1861, establishing the first permanent missions in Dahomey. The missionaries established stations in Whydah and Porto Novo. They also visited the capital, Abomey, but were initially denied permission to evangelize by King Glele. In 1860, the Vatican established the Vicariate Apostolic of Dahomey, which encompassed the territory between the Niger and Volta rivers. In 1882, the ecclesiastical territory was reconfigured, and the Prefecture Apostolic of Dahomey was created.
