MISSIONARIES OF ST. CHARLES – SCALABRINIANS
The Missionaries of St. Charles – Scalabrinians, founded by Bishop John Baptist Scalabrini in 1887, is a worldwide Religious Order of priests and brothers with the specific mission to assist in the spiritual and social needs of migrants and refugees. The Scalabrinians serve migrants of many different ethnic backgrounds. Their apostolate ranges from multiethnic parishes to centers for migration studies, from refugee camps to chaplaincy for seasonal workers, from radio and television programs to legal conferences. They serve migrants and refugees in thirty nations around the world.
The Gospels reveal the compassion Jesus had for all people, foreigners as well as his own countrymen. He answered the question, “Who is my neighbor?” with the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing that any person in need falls within our scope of responsibility. The Scalabrinians seek financial support to continue their ministry to migrants and refugees.
Rev. Aldo Vendramin will preach the Annual Mission Appeal at all Masses next weekend, Feb. 3 and 4. The Scalabrinians seek our support to continue their ministry to migrants and refugees.
