MISSIONS
COLUMBAN FATHERS MISSIONS
Columban
Fathers Missions. In addition to learning about the work of the
Columban Fathers in countries like Peru, Korea and Chile, we
hope that our students see themselves as missionaries in life.
This program presents the opportunity to help us to follow Jesus
and to nourish our faith by:
 |
Awakening in us an appreciation of the relationship between
people of different nations and cultures. |
|
|
Help us share the pains and struggles of the developing
nations of the world. |
|
|
Help us celebrate the riches of mission churches. |
|
|
Encourage us to accept our responsibility for missionary
outreach. |
|
|
Challenge us to help create a more just world. |
We are
grateful to the Columban Fathers for the work they do, and the
opportunity to help them with this mission of faith each year.
HEIFER INTERNATIONAL
This
non-profit organization provides gifts of livestock to families
around the world.
The gift of a
dairy goat, for example, can supply a family with up to several
quarts of nutritious milk a year. Extra milk may be sold for
additional income or used to make butter, cheese or yogurt.
Goats also can have two or three kids per year, enabling the
families to start small dairies that pay for food, health care
and education.
Heifer
International helps hungry people feed themselves, earn income
and care for the environment. This program helps families
become self-reliant.
