Missionary Visit 23 July 2023: The Order of Friar Servants of Mary Zululand Mission Appeal is the weekend of July 22 and 23. The Order Friar Servants of Mary (Servites) was founded outside Florence Italy in 1233 by seven cloth merchants who later were canonized in 1888 as the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order. Their feast day is February 17th . Among our Servite Saints, the most well-known is St. Peregrine Laziosi, O.S.M, a patron of those with cancer and life-threatening illness. The Servites began thier work in the Vicariate of Ingwavuma, Zululand, Natal, South Africa in 1948. The Servite Mis-sion Appeals support the daily ministry to the Zulu Catholics in the Vicariate, the evangelization of the non-Catholic, the support of the Servite Zulu friars, and their seminary formation program. Missionar-ies today continue to proclaim the Gospel and establish Catholic communities. Please make checks payable to St. Benedict Parish with Mission in the memo line.
