Mongolia


MEET THE PEOPLE WE SERVE IN MONGOLIA

Mongolia has little arable land and suffers from corruption, poverty, alcoholism, and human trafficking. Despite the government’s provision of education for every citizen, the poverty rate is still near 30%. The government also demands that religion be kept out of the public spheres, keeping schools from discussing religion at all. Priests cannot dress as priests in public, and it is illegal to publicly profess one’s faith. Much of this regulation comes from the philosophy that religion is just “the opium of the people.”

LEARN ABOUT OUR MISSION IN MONGOLIA


In urban areas filled with street children and surrounded by poverty, injustice and exploitation abounds. Missionaries provide refuge and hope through a special kindergarten for young children. Despite immense challenges and rampant crime, our missionary priests hold onto the unrelenting hope that the Lord has huge plans to restore this troubled land. They have started kindergartens, a home for elderly men, soup kitchens, farms, and a care center for disabled children.



READ STORIES FROM THE MISSION FIELD

This blog post describes the beginning of Mission Hurst's work in Mongolia and recounts the difficulty for a Philippines-born priest to adjust to a cold environment with a new language. There were no native Catholics, no english speakers, and no Catholic texts translated to Mongolian. Despite these challenges, the priests fell in love with the people of Mongolia, and immediately began helping them in any way they could.
