COLUMBAN FATHERS

During the 2008 year, the Columban Fathers c elebrtated their 90th Anniversary.  Pope Benedict XV

approved the Missionary Society of St. C olumban in 1918.  The Columban Fathers are presently serving

in 14 countries,  Australia, Britain, Chile, China, Fiji, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines,

Taiwan, and the United States.  These missionaries continue to direct their focus on matters of justice,

Peace, environment, world international debt and authentic enculturation of the gospel to world

culture and religion.

Columban Fathers’ Mission:    “The demands of the Gospel call us to stand with the poor.  The

suffering of the downtrodden become  our  cross  too.  That is the work of the Missionary Society of

St Columban in the United States and around the world.  We cross boundaries of country, language and

culture to establish the Catholic Church among people who have never heard the Gospel;  We help churches mature

 until they are able to evangelize their own people;  we promote dialogue between Christians and those of other

 religious faiths.”

You may order a”Starter Kit” from the Columban Fathers {402-291-1920} that contains forms and cards

That your members may elec t to use when making donations in the name of the Columban Fathers  It is

recommended that you submit a $10 payment when ordering a “Starter Kit”  You may also subscribe to

The Columban Magazine by ordering on-line or by calling the Columban Offices at the number stated

above.  The subscription fee is $10.  I would recommend that every Division, County and State order

A subscription for their Missions and Charities Officer.  She may then share information with the members a each

 meeting.

COLUMBAN SISTERS

The ColumbanSisters were founded in Ireland in 1924.The Columban Sisters  are a part of the Missionary

Society of St. Columban, but have a separate organizational structure from the Columban Fathers. 

The Columban Sisters are presently serving in 11 countries, Chile, China, England, Ireland, Korea,

 Myanmar, Pakistan Peru, Philippines, Scotand, and the United States.  These missionaries continue to

Provide service in these areas;  pastoral outreach, education, medical, faith formation, and spirituality,

and social service.

Columban Sisters’ Mission:  “ The Columban Sisters are a congregation of missionary religious women

whose commitment to God leads them to cross boundaries of culture, language, and belief to proclaim

the Good News of Jesus in today’s world.”

Precious Life Shelter, Inc.

The Precious Life Shelter is located in Los Alamitos, California.  The primary purpose and objective of

The Precious Life Shelter, Inc is to provide a temporary home for pregnant women of ages 18 and over,

regardless of race, creed, financial or marital status sho have  chosen life for their unborn children,

either by deciding to keep their babies following birth or by allowing their babies to be adopted.  In

addition the4 program provides services which enable the wormen to gain an increased sense of self

worth and dignity by teaching them how to become independent and self-supporting, and by providing

them  counseling  services in childbirth, nutrition, parenting, health, finance, educational aid, job

 training, and other related areas.
