We are Catholic lay people, single men and women, married couples, and families, called through our baptism
to mission.

We seek to walk with the poor of other countries sharing our gifts, living our faith, and learning from one another.

Lay Mission-Helpers serve in a variety of different professions and strive to live a simple life close to the poor.

We provide a four-month Formation Program, plus language training and
support overseas.
