The
Missionaries of the Poor (M.O.P.) is an international monastic order
of Brothers dedicated to "Joyful Service with Christ on the
Cross" to serve the poorest of the poor. The order was
started in 1981 by Father Richard Ho Lung and has now grown
to over 500 brothers around the world.
We have free
missions around the globe. Our main home is in Kingston,
Jamaica, where we maintain six mission homes. The Brothers
also serve the Lord with their acts of mercy in Jamaica
(Kingston), India
(Andhra
Pradesh & Orissa), the
Philippines (Naga City & Cebu), Haiti (Cap-Haitien),
Uganda (Kampala), Kenya
(Nairobi) and the United States (Monroe, NC). A
new mission in Indonesia is currently being established.
We welcome lay
volunteers to come and join us in our work and welcome all to join
our spirituality and prayer life. Our mission is to spread the
Good News of Jesus Christ primarily by works of mercy and
secondarily through liturgy, preaching, music, teaching and
sacraments.
PLEASE SUPPORT
OUR CURRENT PROJECTS
At this time, we
ask for your special help with two great projects in Kingston,
Jamaica. First, construction continues on the Holy
Innocents Center, which will provide shelter and care for women
and their babies, that lives may be saved in the face of the growing
problem of abortion. Second, we are working to purchase and
renovate a building on East Street in Kingston, sitting right
outside the walls of our Prince of Peace Monastery. This
East Street Property will provide additional lodging for new
missionaries arriving for formation and service from around the
world, lodging for visitors and volunteer who help us in our work
and as a care center for the poor in our neighborhood. Please
consider making a gift to the Lord's work. "He that lends
to the poor lends to the Lord."
