On Saturday, August 23th and Sunday 24th, Father William Smith will speak at all the masses and make an appeal for their missions. Walking in the footsteps of our founders, Claude Poullart des Places and Francis Libermann, Spiritans are living the Gospel in response to the changing needs of contemporary culture and building community in parts of the world that are often neglected. For more than 300 years, Spiritans work in more than 60 countries around the world proclaiming the Good News.
From working in international refugee camps to inner city parishes, from teaching in schools around the world to providing a home for orphans in France, England, Brazil, Angola, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, etc., Spiritans are about the business of proclaiming the reign of God with their lives and through their works.
In the United States, we dedicate ourselves to working with the poor and marginalized in places where finding ministers is difficult. Our efforts include education, parish ministry, and retreat ministry in communities from Rhode Island to California. U.S. Spiritans place a great emphasis on education. We work in universities, graduate programs of theological education, secondary schools, and chaplancies.
Please consider contributing to this cause as they’re building a better future and fostering vibrant Catholic communities of service and faith around the world.
