Our Global Mission

St. Columbans Mission Society is an International Missionary Society that crosses boundaries of Culture and Religion.  As Columban Missionaries we live and share the Gospel of Jesus through: working with poor and exploited people, seeking justice and dignity for those denied their rights, developing faith communities in the local church, respect and care for the earth and the environment.

We seek to reach out and transform all strata of human life through our evangelising work, opening up the horizons of humanity to the living mystery of God's kingdom, and responding to the poor and suffering where ever they may be found.

This mission calls us to a spirituality of listening, a life of prayer and community centered on Jesus whose presence nurtures and empowers us with a spirit of dialogue and boldness, understanding and reconciliation.  We grow in contemplation and action with the support of Columban priests, sisters, lay missionaries, our companions in mission and friends, and all those whom we touch and who touch us with the gift of God's saving love.

'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind.'
