I discovered this Roman Catholic organization (commonly known as the Consolata Missionaries) when a member of their order came to my parish in Saint Louis, Missouri to talk about the work they do (the Archdiocese of Saint Louis has a "Missionary Cooperation Plan," with each parish hosting a different missionary one weekend each year in order for us to learn more about the Church's work outside of the United States). This congregation of priests and brothers was founded in Italy in 1901 and currently serves the spiritual, health, job training and other needs of people primarily in Africa, South America, and Asia. The visitor left a copy of their magazine and I sent in a donation. They only send out two or three mail appeals each year, each for a specific need (such as repairs to a foreign mission health facility, to help with constructing a new church, etc.) and each donation is gratefully acknowledged by a letter from their U. S. Superior who confirms your gift will be used for what it was intended. Perhaps to save money, they regretfully apparently do not publish their quarterly magazine any more, which is a shame because each issue usually was devoted to one major theme and they were quite informative.
