We are the Columban Missionaries in Ireland

Our mission is to help people become fully human, to help establish a world of peace with justice, and to care for creation in solidarity with the poor. We follow Jesus of Nazareth who said,

‘He has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives, and to the blind new sight, to set the downtrodden free and to proclaim the Lord’s year of favour.’ (Lk 4:18)
