Catholic missionaries around the world must prioritize migration and refugees, climate change and multiculturalism in their mission work, said Superior General of the St. Columban Missionary Society Timothy Mulroy. This was reported on March 22 by UCA News.
These three aspects are important for missionary work in the modern world, he emphasized.
“Today the world is facing the problems of migrants and refugees, climate change and the coexistence of different cultures. God invites us to do missionary work in these areas.”said the priest.
A 58-year-old missionary from Ireland made remarks on the sidelines of the congregation’s “International Leadership Conference” held March 19-31 in South Korea.
The meeting brought together the heads and representatives of the Colombian missions from various countries to discuss urgent issues of missionary activity and prepare the general assembly of the order next year.
It is “an opportunity to broaden the minds and horizons of members by discussing Columbia Missions activities around the world,” as well as “the process of determining what new invitation God has and finding a new direction for missionary work.” Mulroy said. .
The priest pointed out that God calls believers in this age to accept diversity as a gift and live with it.
Remember, the St. Columban Missionary Society was founded in Ireland in 1917. A year later, the Vatican approved it. The congregation is dedicated to the sixth and early seventh century Irish priest and monk, Saint Columban, considered one of the greatest missionaries of his time.
In Asia, Colombian missionaries are credited with pioneering work in the growth of Catholicism in various countries including China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Korea, Japan, and Myanmar.
