Lynn Powe, from Mission Doctors Association, will speak at all Masses August 2 and 3. The second collection at these Masses is for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, which supports missions such as Mission Doctors Association. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith is part of the Pontifical Mission Societies, a worldwide network that supports the missions and the Young Churches with prayer and charity.
Mission Doctors Association, founded in 1959 in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, works to recruit, train, send and support Catholic physicians, dentists, physician-assistants and nurse practitioners at Mission hospitals and clinics in Africa and Latin America.
Their unique ministry supports Catholic medical professionals in their desire to serve the poorest of the poor in response to the call of their faith and to requests from missionary bishops and religious who administer the hospitals. Welcome Lynn!
