Quotations
‘Being a Columban Lay Missionary has been one of the best gifts God has given me….leaving behind country, culture, language, friends, family has been a great experience though not without pain. It has helped me to grow, to be more open and flexible, respectful to other faiths and cultures and more compassionate.’
Pilar Vasquez. Chilean LM currently assigned to Britain
‘Learning to live in a small rural community here in Mindanao, amidst the joys and sorrows of family life, has required patience. Learning to speak their language, understand their customs, discovering how they meet their daily needs and sharing faith through every day living, has allowed me to enter this poor community step by step.’
