spirit to start preparing for the big celebration of nine decades of existence of the Missionary Society of St. Columban, party to be held on Sunday 23 November, we invite you to know something more about the life of this great family of Missionaries:


Biography of St. Columban


Born in Ireland in 543. Very Young St. Columba entered the monastery and stay there until age 40. Then leaves his village and crosses the sea with his 12 colleagues to be a missionary in the European continent. These had fallen into decay under the invasions of the barbarians and the fall of the Roman Empire.

With three colleagues founded monastic centers in what is now France. After several years of religious and civil authorities came to feel threatened by the moral influence exercised by the monks of Ireland and decided to expel from its territory.

St. Columban and his companions crossed northern France and founded monasteries to step up to the north of Italy where he founded his last monastery in the town center of Bobbio in 614. A year later St. Columbanus died in the same place on November 23 615.

Columban was a dedicated and very determined man with a great missionary vocation. He prophetically denounce abuse and immorality of the authorities and people, participated actively in religious debates in the community but always showed great affection for each of his companions and disciples.

Columban in Chile


late 50's, our Superior General, Fr Jeremiah Dennehy, received an urgent request from the Vatican to make our society send missionaries to Latin America. Father Dennehy

sent two missionary priests who had long experience in China. Once Latin America visited Colombia and Ecuador with the task of establishing ties missionaries in Argentina. But when they came to Lima a few of them P. Murphy became critically ill and died. Who was accompanied by James P. Loughran was a veteran missionary with 22 years of missionary experience in China. Lima waited until I got a replacement, Father John McFadden.

After visiting Peru, they were leaving for Argentina but had to make a stopover of several days in Santiago. It is in these days when meetings occur ... indecipherable mysteries of the Holy ... Father James was a very sociable. Discovered that an old friend of China, Apostolic Nuncio Monsignor Zain was in Santiago and went to greet him Archbishop Zain asked the reason for his visit to Chile and Father James explained to him that Argentina was on track to finding out the possibility of establishing a mission Columban in Latin America.

Mr. Nuncio insisted that Fr Visit to Cardinal Jaime Caro. Being a man who knew the importance of hospitality, accepted the invitation. Cardinal Caro received them very well and during lunch told his guest as he was rescued from a group of thieves in Rome by the intervention of a large and robust Irish priest. Later I asked him why he was visiting Chile, he explained that he was traveling to Buenos Aires to see the possibility of a new mission there.

Cardinal Caro told the pastoral needs of his archdiocese and invite them to come Columbans to do a mission among the poorest in Sgt. Jaime's father told him a little uncomfortable, that Chile was not in the list of possible missions, but would tell the general superior to your request. The next day they went to Buenos Aires

is not known exactly what was contained in his report but it was approved. The General Council of the Society decided to establish new missions Columban in Lima, Buenos Aires and Santiago. Father Jaime would be responsible for establishing the Columban mission in Santiago, Chile. Back in the United States Fr Jaime began studying Castilian but the desire to do mission were too strong and went to Chile without having run its course. He arrived in Chile in January 1952.

During that year he worked in the parishes of the Annunciation and St. John of God but never failed to pressure the archdiocese to fulfill their commitment to deliver a new parish to the Columban.

In October 1952 the Archbishop established the new parish of St. Andrew handing it over to the Missionary Society of St. Columban. Fr James was appointed as first pastor of St. Andrew. With that good news was communicated with his superior general asking them to send the two young priests who had promised him they were the P. James McCarthy and Hugh P. McGonagle, who were waiting for months for the same good news in New York.

sailed from that port on December 16, 1952 on a boat loaded with explosives ... they signed a document accepting collateral risks boat ride without the right to compensation in case you crash. On the night of January 11, 1953 came to Valparaiso with a great task in hand and a heart full hope ...

Thus began thanks to God and the generosity of so many missionaries, Fathers Loughran, McCarthy and Mc Gonagle, we feel privileged to announce the Good News of Jesus in Chile and Chilean call the Church to participate in the Universal Mission Church.

Family Catechesis
GO TOGETHER TO MEET THE LORD

With great participation was the Catechesis Meeting Year 2 of our parish


TRANSFER AND FIRST MOMENTS

Two buses crammed with parents, children, guides, ACN and the family of Dominican Sisters in full, left around 08:30 hrs. from Chapel Nta.Sra.del Carmen with the "precious cargo" of participants in the direction of the Vicariate South Zone located at the height of the whereabouts of high Avenida 17.

Once arrived at the Vicariate and placed the bags of groceries, went to the salon where he would develop much of the day's activities and where they were welcomed and greeted by a very synchronized team, comprised of Religious Guides (fathers Animators ) and ACN (Animators Celebrations Children).

After an initial motivation, it led to the organization of groups of 5 to 7 members each, which brought together women and men separately to share in a first instance, the way each is made PAN and Wine for the world.

With the joy of discovery PAN and be food for other giving, support, guidance, caring family, and also to feel WINE, encouraging the joy with others, each participant was found to be in existence, the presence of God in world history and in their own life stories.

After this first step, it was time to share in a revitalizing breakfast table and, after that, return to the same groups to talk now about "some" of the Eucharist (Mass) and as such "party" touched our lives.

Forgiveness, Listening to the Word, The Offering, Consecration and Communion, among others, led to views that later in the plenary had to be exposed by a group secretary.

During the plenary, children encouraged by their "uncles" performing dynamic and age appropriate games, it also discovered the joy of being loved by the God of Life. Sharing

the "general views" of each group, applauded all the content and message that each one handed, it was time for lunch with the family and chapel groups. The sandwich, chicken, salads and more, mingled with the smell of charcoal and meat from a nearby house that was prepared a barbecue, children playing and parents were sitting in the shared around so far. EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION




From the table, went to Mass, led by our pastor Father Raymundo Estillore, which alternated the habitual of it with short presentations that the children were of the fixed part of this Gran Fiesta del Pueblo Christian. Staging Gospel, Gifts brought by the children, bread and wine on the altar and wonderful moments of love expressed in "the time parents ask forgiveness from the children" and "when the children apologize to their parents."

deserves special mention Homily teaching of our pastor, which I invite you to address the way in which imagination could fill a glass container (our life), also imaginary-tennis balls (the day to day life) , stones (the difficulties of everyday life) and sand (the whole ground of problems, aches and pains of life).

The "form correct "he concluded, is: fill our lives (container) with tennis balls (every day), followed in between with the difficulties of everyday life (stones), and finally everything else (the sand). Make the process in a different order implies that life is filled with problems and pains, leaving no room for happy times and the enjoyment of our lives with those we love.

Shipping and Sign of Peace delivered at the end of the celebration, gave a sense of spiritual communion beautiful and provided the space for mutual good wishes of well being, as he dismissed with a "until the next" new friends made during this meeting.
