Congregation of the Mission in the Solomon Islands

The Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians) has an International Mission in the Solomon Islands, about 12 km from the capital, Honiara. There there is a community of confreres working in the Holy Name of Mary Regional Seminary, as well as in Nazareth Apostolic Centre (a Lay Formation Centre) and a Rural Parish. The confreres are from the Philippines, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, and Croatia. Candidates are beginning to be attracted to the Congregation and so consideration is being given to opening a House of Formation there. In September, Fr Greg. Cooney CM, Provincial of the Australian Province of the Vincentians, visited the Solomons. Some photos from his visit are available.
