Greetings from us all in Viatores Christi. We hope that you and your parishioners are keeping safe and well as winter slowly arrives. |

As you know Viatores Christi volunteers have worked alongside Irish Missionaries overseas since 1960. We have had the privilege to have seen first hand the impact , brought about by the presence, work and solidarity of Irish missionaries and the work of our partners throughout many regions across the world. |

Throughout the challenges of the past year, those missionaries have continued on with their work and VC has been able to support them in new and different ways. One new key area of focus for VC has been disability inclusion. We have taken part in the VIVID-T project with partners throughout Europe and is has opened our eyes to the need to be a more inclusive organisation and we hope to share our learnings with others. |
