Pallottine Missions
On the Road Again !
 

   The opportune time has come once more! Each year as the snow and cold weather retreat north, we Pallottines pull out our road maps and plan our strategies for our annual mission talks. From April through September our men will be traveling the United States sharing stories and information about our Pallottine missions in India, Zambia and South Africa. This year a "new face" has joined our mission preachers. Fr. Davies Edassery, SAC has teamed up with Fr. Leon Martin, Fr. Greg Serwa,  and Fr. Tom Kuttiyanickal in their efforts to raise money and awareness about our Pallottine missions.Davies2008_09w

Fr. Davies Edassery comes to us from the State of Kerala, known as ‘God’s own country’, in India. He was ordained in 1988 and has had many and various pastoral experiences.

   Fr. Davies came to our Mother of God Province in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on February 5th of this year. He says that he is here with an open heart to be at the service of the province and extend the benefits of his priestly ministry to the people around this area. He is very thankful to the Provincial, Fr. Leon, and the members of the province who have given him a very warm welcome.
  So be on the watch! The Pallottines are "on the road again" and could show up at the front doors of your parish this summer. We have many stories to tell you about the our missions and missionaries. 
For the most part we are centering our efforts on helping the Mission in Zambia this summer.  Our Missionaries there are in great need as they must deal with the great HIV/Aids epidemic in that country as in all of Africa. We are making every effort to provide for the education and well-being of the 265 orphans in our parish in Lusaka, whose parents have died of this epidemic. The estimated cost per child for school fees and clothing alone is 195.00 US$.  Other efforts include providing dwellings for widows and children as well as medical supplies.
May I suggest that you watch the video at the top-right. It is short and will give an idea of what our mission in Zambia is about. If you wish to assist in our efforts you can write to us at :
