Walking Together to Build Stronger Communities

For over 200 years, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate have been on the front lines of service, ensuring that no one faces hardship alone. Through faith, compassion, and action, they build communities where people are seen, valued, and supported.

This mission comes to life through initiatives like the youth ministry in Houston, where young people are discovering that faith is best lived through service. Led by Alfonso Lopez and Carmen Franco, they have transformed both their own lives and the lives of those in need—proving that when people come together with a shared purpose, communities flourish.

Missions That Change Lives: Building Communities in Zambia

Forty years ago, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate arrived in Zambia, bringing with them a commitment to walk alongside the vulnerable and strengthen communities. From Lukulu to Lusaka, their mission has expanded, leaving a lasting impact on healthcare, education, human rights, and food security.

Just as faith calls us to serve, young leaders across Zambia have embraced this mission—responding to hardship, creating spaces of healing, and ensuring no one stands alone. Whether supporting families in need, advocating for justice, or fostering hope through pastoral care, they are not just witnessing transformation—they are part of it.

Through initiatives that provide critical care and amplify voices of the marginalized, the Oblates continue to build communities where people are seen, valued, and supported. Their work is a testament to the power of faith in action—proving that when people come together with a shared purpose, communities flourish.

You Make This Possible

Missions and initiatives like this can’t happen without your support.
Without generosity, families would go without food, shelter, and medical care. Without compassion, young people searching for purpose wouldn’t have the opportunity to serve. Without action, communities in need wouldn’t find healing.

Your gift is more than a donation—it is an investment in hope, opportunity, and transformation.

Every dollar helps a child receive an education, a mother provide for her family, and a community rebuild.

For over two centuries, this mission has endured because of people like you—compassionate, generous, and ready to make a difference.
