In 2021, you provided essential support to the young Catholic community of Hosanna in the south of Ethiopia. This young Apostolic Vicariate has a growing community, scarce resources, and has been plagued by conflict.
Throughout 2021, this region experienced widespread violence in the Tigray area. Bishop Seyoum Fransua, National Director of #Missio in #Ethiopia, explained:

‘When there is a conflict, the victims are poor people. It is necessary that there is a dialogue between the parties to restore a social balance. … It is necessary to pray, to have a dialogue with God. True peace comes only from God, I ask everyone to pray for this situation’.

Through your generosity, we were able to send a grant to the Hosanna community, to help them through this turmoil, enabling Bishop Seyoum and his team to continue to ignite God’s love throughout the crises they are facing. Read more in our news section on the website.

*In May, we pray with Pope Francis for all young people to live life to the full; may they, through Mary's life, discover how to listen and discern deeply. May they also discover the courage that faith brings, and a commitment to serve.*

We love this picture of joyful young people in South Africa sharing what makes them happy!

With limited electricity and water supplies, no funds to keep livestock or grow vegetables, Tumahole Township experiences all the challenges of poverty. Unemployment, drug misuse and alcoholism are common. But thanks to Missio supporters, Fr Ephraim can offer the orphaned and vulnerable young people of his parish a safe place to study, play, and get a good meal. In this way, he and the parish team remind children of their inherent dignity and worth as children of God.

A wonderful moment in today's #beatification Mass when Mayline Tran, who was miraculously cured after a Novena to #paulinejaricot, brought a relic to be presented at the altar. We give thanks for Mayline's recovery and her witness to the faith. 🙏❤️

Missio's National Director in England and Wales, Fr Anthony Chantry, is in Lyon for the beatification of Pauline Jaricot. This week in Lyon, a beautiful new icon of Blessed Pauline was unveiled.

Fr Anthony reflects:

'Pauline Jaricot embraced the mission God gave her.
She immersed herself in contemplation and committed herself to the power of prayer.
She worked for justice in the workplace.
She took to heart the command of our Lord Jesus Christ to "go teach all nations" and gathered people together in support of global mission.'

#Beatification is the penultimate stage in the journey to #sainthood. For this step to take place, a miracle through the candidate’s intercession must be recognised. In Pauline Jaricot’s case this happened in May 2012, when Mayline Tran, then aged 3, slipped into a coma having choked on a piece of food.

The doctors advised her parents to stop life support. But instead, Mayline’s mother Nathalie, along with students and parents at Mayline’s school, began to pray a Novena to Pauline Jaricot for her recovery.

Soon afterwards, the doctors were surprised to confirm that Mayline’s condition had altered. Mayline's dad, Emmanuel, remembers:

‘Mayline began to show signs of waking up. My wife and I understood immediately that it was a miracle. Despite the doctors’ diagnosis, we saw that her condition was progressing. When she finally said “mom” in the arms of her mother in front of the doctors, the miracle took hold’.

Mayline left hospital in December 2012, fully healed. Here she is, celebrating her First Holy Communion some years ago. And Mayline will be celebrating Pauline's beatification in Lyon this weekend! Read the full story on our website.

Sister Nirmala and her order of Religious Sisters in India work tirelessly to rescue girls who have been trafficked or otherwise abandoned or abused. Through their patient and loving care, the girls can rebuild their lives, in safety, knowing that each and every one of them is loved by God.

In May, we pray with Pope Francis for all young people to live life to the full; may they, through Mary's life, discover how to listen and discern deeply. May they also discover the courage that faith brings, and a commitment to serve.

‘As well as supporting the missions overseas, she also supported the rights of Lyon’s mill workers, established a credit union, and was one of the first people to build a fair factory with accommodation, school, and chapel attached. All of this was built on Christ and her relationship with him, nurtured by prayer and the Eucharist.'

We asked members of the Missio family in England and Wales how Pauline Jaricot inspires them in their lives, faith, and personal mission. You can read about Pauline, a woman for our times, on our website.
Are YOU inspired by Pauline? We'd love to hear from you! Let us know in the comments what this amazing woman means to you!

Moses* is a student at the 'Mua School for the Deaf' in Malawi. There are only six schools for deaf students in the entire country (in England there are 22). Children travel many miles to secure a valued place and stay in the boarding house attached to the school.

The Mua School was originally built by the Catholic Church. It's now state run, but the Church still oversees aspects of school life, including the vital residential care. This responsibility is undertaken by a small community of Religious Sisters who ensure the pupils are looked after and know that God loves each one of them. In this way, they ensure the children can grow to reach their full potential.

In May, we pray with Pope Francis for all young people to live life to the full; may they, through Mary's life, discover how to listen and discern deeply. May they also discover the courage that faith brings, and a commitment to serve.

St Thomas Hospital in India was at the forefront of the country's COVID-19 response. Despite being almost overwhelmed by the huge need they experienced, they continued to open their doors to as many people as possible during the crisis and beyond.

In April, we pray with Pope Francis, for healthcare workers who serve the sick and the elderly, especially in the poorest countries; may they be adequately supported by governments and local communities.

Missio volunteers are a constant blessing. Without their dedication, commitment and hard work, we simply could not do what we do!

Today we say thank you to Ann, for her years as Local Secretary for the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Shropshire. She has been collecting the Red Boxes in the Parish for over 20 years.

Fr Tony Grace, Missio’s Diocesan Director for @diocese_shrewsbury shares:

‘Ann has been diligent in her collection of the Red Boxes. She has a great passion for the training of future missionary priests and religious Brothers and Sisters, and for helping children and families in the poorest parts of the world.

‘She is retiring in April after many years of encouraging her parishioners to support Missio.

‘Ann showed her generosity and love for the Missions and the Church. She has helped realise that love in action; through generous contributions to Missio throughout her time as Local Secretary in her parish.'

A huge 'thank you' to Ann for all you've done for Missio. God Bless you!

‘Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the scriptures to us?’ Luke 24:13-35

At Eastertide we give thanks for the God who walks with us: who shares our lives, our pain, hopes and dreams. And we give thanks for missionaries who follow his example, and dedicate their lives to walking with God's children, igniting his love in all corners of the earth.
