Pope John Paul II writes in his encyclical Mission of the Redeemer, “God is opening before the Church the horizons of a humanity more fully prepared for the sowing of the Gospel. I sense the moment has come to commit all the Church’s energies to a new evangelization and mission to the nations. No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church, can avoid this supreme duty; to proclaim Christ to all peoples.”

Light for Our Path

Family Missions Company is an apostolate of Catholic laity, called to foreign missionary evangelism. Filled with the Holy Spirit, we proclaim Jesus Christ and His Gospel to the poor. Today, the Lord is calling many Catholic laity to serve in foreign missions. The need is urgent; we must go into the mission field to sow the seed, and reap the harvest for the Lord. (We are Catholic families and lay missionaries engaged in evangelization and serving the poor in foreign missions.)

FMC welcomes families with children, and singles. (Catholic families in mission) We provide counsel to those discerning a missionary vocation; give teaching, training, and spiritual formation; help our missionaries find suitable places for Catholic foreign mission service; and provide logistical support and pastoral oversight for their lives in mission.  (We provide Catholic lay missionary training.)

Our missionaries are encouraged to maintain ties with their home faith communities, and are expected to raise their own financial support (we give guidance for raising funds). We ask for a minimum two year commitment, and look especially for those who are considering long term service.  (We are Catholic singles and families, evangelizing and announcing the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.)

Here at FMC we live by faith, day-by-day trusting in the Lord’s leading and provision. We are engaged in “the greatest and holiest duty of the Church”.  Evangelization is the principal service which the church offers to mankind.

 Come, let’s follow Jesus, He will make us fishers of men. (We are missionary families and lay missionaries engaged in evangelization and service to the poor in foreign lands around the world.)
