There are always exciting happenings at the Columban Lay Missionaries – Philippines, reasons for us to celebrate, rejoice and give thanks.
L to R Sherryl Lou Capili, Nanise Mounga, Joan Yap
PH 19, comprised of Joan Yap (Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay), Sherryl Lou Capili (Silang, Cavite) and Reina Mosqueda (Los Baños, Laguna) have completed their nine-month orientation program. After their commissioning Masses in their home parishes (9 May, 1 May and 8 May respectively) they will go to Taiwan for three years, the first of which will be spent learning Mandarin. As PH 19 implies, Joan, She and Reins belong to the 19th group of Filipino Columban lay missionaries to be sent on overseas mission.
wow! your vocation's really
wow! your vocation's really great! I am interested to know more about your congregation. I've known two columban missionaries here in Mindanao and they're so friendly and nice to be with. I'm still a High school student and maybe 8 years from now, I wanted to join in your congregation. Would it be possible?

Cherryl Ann, thank you for your comment. High school is a good time to start praying about and reflecting on what plan God has in mind for our lives. Ask him each day to let you see where he is calling you. Get involved in your parish and/or school community in serving others in some way. You can learn more about Columban Lay Missionaries on their blog here and about the Columban Sisters on their website here.
God bless you.
