The stars were marching in a stately manner in the midnight clear sky as I looked beyond the darkness of the world. This was during my teenage years as I came to ask myself what I would be when I grew up. I dreamed of so many ideals and goals, but the questions still remained: ‘What is my life for? Why do I exist? What is my mission in this world? Why did God create me? What is His will for my life?’

Columban Missionaries live in many countries throughout the world. It is a rewarding life, but it is not always easy. There is a long list of Columbans, Priests, Sisters and Lay Missionaries who have suffered violence, imprisonment and even death while sharing life with the poor. They all believed that the hardships they experienced were small compared to the life, hope and joy they shared with others. Are you willing to serve in that world today?

Some people call it work. Columban Missionaries call it Life, Love, Joy, and share it with God’s people where ever they go. We invite you to join us, Columban Missionaries, in finding and sharing Life, Love and Joy in our world today.

Thirty years ago, one Columban Missionary narrowly escaped death when his vehicle was fired on from ambush in the southern Philippines. He still lives and works among the poor. The life he has found far outweighed what others see as dangers and sacrifices. We invite you to join us in finding life as a Columban Missionary.
