Across the world, Columban missionaries serve in fifteen countries, walking alongside people whose lives are marked by hardship, courage and hope. From Korea, where our lay missionaries accompany migrants and asylum seekers facing uncertainty and displacement, to other communities in Asia, Oceania, Europe and America, we are present where the need is greatest. In places where families struggle to find safety, dignity and belonging, Columbans offer practical support, shelter, friendship and faith. Often, it is the simple acts of welcome and compassion that bring light into lives overshadowed by fear and isolation.
