🙏 Please pray for the people of Venezuela. 🇻🇪

Thousands remain unaccounted for following the recent earthquake, adding to the suffering of a nation already facing immense hardship.

Venezuelans continue to be one of the world's largest displaced populations, with many seeking safety in Peru and Chile, where Columban missionaries accompany migrant communities.

Please keep all those affected, their families, and the emergency responders in your prayers.

🎉 Fatima House celebrates 10 years! 🎉

The special anniversary Mass was presided by Archbishop Bernard Longley and was followed by a joyful gathering in the hall with food, a presentation led by Mauricio Silva and, of course, cake!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the celebration and to all our partners, volunteers and donors who have supported Fatima House over the past decade. Together, we have been able to accompany many vulnerable migrant women in need of protection, support and a listening ear.

Please keep all those involved in Columban migrant ministries in and around Birmingham in your prayers. 🙏
