REFLECTIONS

IF you want to know about a fearless and outspoken defender of human dignity and rights, you have to know about the life of a man known as Columban. He was a true Christian, an Irishman who dedicated his life to the service of others. He was a missionary, a fiery preacher, fearless and dedicated.

Columban went on a mission with his band of Irish monks. They were greatly welcomed, admired and honored by ordinary people as they traveled throughout Europe on foot, stopping in towns and villages to teach and preach the Good News of Jesus of Nazareth.
