Columban Companions

Columban Companions in Mission is an initiative of the Columban Missionaries in Ireland and is a network of people who share the Columban Concerns for justice, care for the earth and mutual respect between peoples of different cultures and faiths.

My name is Claire Carey and I am the Coordinator of Columban Companions in Ireland. I have been working as Coordinator since September 2008. Over the years I have been connected with the Columban Missionaries in a variety of ways. I spent some years as a lay missionary in Korea and then worked as Coordinator of Columban Lay Mission in Ireland, so I am very glad to be reconnected with the work and mission of the Columbans through this new initiative.

I welcome opportunities to meet with people who are interested in connecting with our network and through personal contact and through this website I hope that Columban Companions will offer you opportunities to:

• Stay connected and informed with news of Columban Mission in Ireland and overseas
• Share in opportunities for reflection and debate on issues of faith, justice and ecology
• Link with people both locally and overseas who see to work in solidarity and hope for a better world
• Become involved in projects and events that support the Columban concerns and deepen our understanding of mission
• Make use of our resources for action and reflection on justice, ecology and building respect between cultures and faiths
• Deepen your spirituality and share in our vision to create a more just world, where people of different cultures and faiths respect each other, and are mindful of the web of creation that sustains us all. 

 
I look forward to keeping you connected with the Columbans and their work in both in Ireland and overseas. The email address is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
