Our work falls into four areas: relief and healthcare, development, education, and pastoral. Each of these efforts are intimately intertwined, and we see evangelization as an integral part of addressing the human person in all its dimensions.

In response to the people’s most urgent need, Missionhurst missionaries may start a new farming project; build a clean water supply line; work to improve nutrition and health; establish a loving home for orphans and abandoned children; start a leadership training program or a sheltered workshop for the handicapped; or provide “seed” money to village entrepreneurs struggling to start small businesses; or they may build a new chapel, seminary, or school.

Whatever the needs in each area—and whatever shape their daily projects take—missionaries are building local, self-reliant Catholic communities through their loving witness.
