Columban Missionary Appeal

Given by Fr Daniel Horrigan on 24th May 2009 on behalf of the Columban Missionaries.

 

The Columban Missionaries were founded in Ireland in 1918, initially to work in China but more recently in Burma, Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, Fiji, Peru, Chile, Taiwan and Pakistan.

Their Mission is to help establish and build up God’s Kingdom through Christ’s healing Gospel of Justice among the poor marginalised and oppressed.

This mission would not be possible without the generosity of good friends.
