The Columbans are a society of missionaries, priests, and laity, serving the people of various cultures and bearing the testimony of God's universal love.
We work in the name of the Church to announce, with works and words, the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our objectives are:
- Establish the Church where the Gospel has not been preached.
- Help local Churches to grow as evangelizing communities open to all peoples.
- Facilitate exchange between local Churches.
- Promote dialogue between Christians and those of all other religious traditions.
- Promote justice, peace and care for creation in solidarity with the poor.
We work in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Great Britain, Ireland, China, Chile, Hong Kong, Fiji, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Taiwan, Rome, France, Mexico and the United States.
