ENGLISH SPEAKING MISSIONARY DELEGATION

HOME PAGE

The work and charism of Don Orione has been spread throughout the world by the missionary zeal of the Sons of Divine Providence. Their congregations of priests, brothers and sisters are present in 32 countries worldwide. The English delegation of the Sons of Divine Providence have to date been responsible for the establishment of the following four overseas missions.

Jordan
Our mission in Jordan began in 1985. The Don Orione Complex consists of the church of Our Lady Queen of Peace, St Joseph's Technical College and the Pilgrim’s Hostel. Fr Paul Bidone was involved in the initial work on this project. Our work is mainly concerned with the service of the small percentage of Christians who live in this area and particularly with the provision of help and support to the youth.

St Joseph’s Technical College provides a good level of technical education in Computer maintenance, Carpentry, Mechanics, Auto electrics and Electrical wiring.
The Pilgrim’s Hostel is an accommodation centre available to pilgrims and groups from any part of the world at very modest prices.
The Shrine to Our Lady Queen of Peace is in an area that is attracting many Christians.
We also assist some of the religious communities with Confessions, Masses and Retreats.

Kenya
Kaburugi and Kandisi: The Mission in Kenya started in 1996 when Fr. Joseph Vallauri was sent out to Kenya to find a house for The Sons of Divine Providence. We accepted the parish of St. Peter's in Kaburugi, about 75 kms outside the capital Nairobi on 13th December 1998 and we started our work in Kandisi on 9th September 1999 when an SDP father was introduced to the parishioners at a special service. The First Kenyan Priest was ordained in November 2005. Our pastoral work includes working with AIDS victims, people with disabilities, at a maternity hospital, in several clinics, at a dressmaking school and kindergartens.

India
In 2001 the first two priests landed in Bangalore to set up an exploratory mission. The mission became a reality in June 2002 when the first 8 boys arrived to join our newly opened seminary. As part of their training, our candidates co-operate with several local charitable institutions. They work mainly with: the handicapped, the elderly, street children, AIDS orphans and also at the Don Orione Centre. The Don Orione Centre is a welfare centre run by the Kripa Trust (a charitable trust recognised by the government of Kamataka) with the co-operation of the Sons of Divine Providence.
