2025 Columban Mid-Year Appeal
Charity is the cement
which binds communities to God
and persons to one another.
St Vincent de Paul
As the Church welcomes a new Pope, we are reminded of the Holy Spirit’s guidance and the hope that faith-based leadership brings to our world. This moment of renewal calls us, too, to recommit ourselves to spreading the Gospel mission of compassion and justice.
Thank you for being part of this mission. Your support, whether through prayer, generosity, or acts of compassion, helps us continue Christ’s work across fifteen countries. Through the sacraments, food programs, pastoral care, and community outreach, the Columban Mission continues bringing hope where it is most needed.
No matter the size, your gift helps bring Christ’s message to life through liturgy, education, and emergency relief.
May the Spirit that guided the Church in this historic moment also inspire us to act with renewed love and generosity.
Thank you for being a part of this journey of hope and compassion. Wishing you a blessed year ahead.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Fr Patrick McInerney
Regional Director of Oceania
