Global Connections through the Mission Office

We are called to Relationship!

St. Cloud also has many mission connections and special relationships. Many of these relationships focus on missioners from our diocese who have answered the call to serve in mission around our globe, and now are serving as bridges between their home diocese of St. Cloud and their current area of ministry. Other connections began when missioners from elsewhere journeyed to our diocese to study, minister or just visit. Some revolve around religious communities such as the Benedictines or Crosiers within our diocese and their ministries elsewhere in the world. Regardless of how these relationships began, all are important as we strive to learn more about GOD through learning more about one another in our global family!

Learn more about these many different connections on our missioners page and country connections pages.

Missioners

We are all citizens of a Global Village!

We are part of a global family and are called to know our brothers and sisters from every corner of the world. And, contrary to popular belief, mission means not only going out, but also allowing others to come to us. There are many wonderful people connected to our diocese who have answered the call to mission. Let us follow their example!

Who is a Missioner?

We recognize that ALL Baptized Catholics are called to mission, and that each one of us is asked to be a missioner, through prayer, learning, sacrifice and relationship-building. We also recognize that many of us do mission in our own back yard at times; but we also recognize that some are called to mission in a special way - those who answer the call to follow Christ's example by leaving their home and comfort zones to be in relationship with brothers and sisters in other parts of the world.
