The Columban Lay Mission is an expression of calling by God, initially to leave family, culture and country.

In responding to this call, Columban Lay Missionaries come to know more deeply the compassionate and loving Jesus who made His home with the poor and the marginalized.

This inspires, guides and nurtures our lay missionaries in their missionary journey of presence, witness and service.
