    MISSIO 

    The main object of the charity is to support the Catholic Church in mission dioceses throughout the world. This support is most tangible in the funds raised and distributed but is most keenly felt in the spiritual and pastoral unity which is generated.Therefore we have two main areas of activity, mission animation and education, and fund raising - without the one we could not have the other!
