2024 Columban Christmas Appeal
Give something, however small,
to the one in need.
For it is not small to one who has nothing.
Neither is it small to God, if we have given what we could.’
St Gregory Nazianzus
As we approach the holy season of Christmas, our hearts are filled with the joyous anticipation of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. This is a time for profound reflection, gratitude, and giving—a time to live out the Gospel message of love and compassion. Your generous donation will enable us to continue providing vital support to:
- Children in need: Your donation can provide educational materials, clothing, and other essentials, helping children experience the joy of Christmas.
- Migrants seeking shelter: Your contribution will support the Migrant Houses the Columbans maintain, offering a safe haven to those in need.
- Families in need of food and basic necessities: Your gift can ensure that a family has a warm meal on their table this Christmas.
I ask you to use the options below to support the Columban Mission Appeal.
By giving to this appeal, you are not only addressing immediate physical needs but also bringing hope, love, and the light of Christ into the lives of those who need it most in the many countries where the Columbans work. Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a significant impact.
Thank you for your continued generosity and for being a vital part of our mission. Your past support has been invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for your ongoing commitment. May God bless you abundantly this Christmas season and may the peace of Christ fill your heart and home.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Fr Patrick McInerney
Regional Director of Oceania
