Let's give up hate speech for Lent.

Trust in Him at all times - Reflection Series - Episode 146.
Repentance and change are at the heart of Lent. For Lent, Pope Leo offers a contemporary suggestion: fast from hate speech. This means refraining from any language that denigrates or stirs up anger. Let's listen to Pope Leo’s advice this Lent and embrace a more positive way of speaking.

For over 100 years, the Columbans have crossed oceans to share the Good News, stand with the poor, and build bridges between cultures and faiths. Today, we are crossing a new kind of ocean. We are delighted to announce that St Columbans Mission Society is now on TikTok. You can follow us here: https://www.tiktok.com/
Through short, engaging videos, we will share stories of hope, justice, peace, and care for creation from the 15 countries where Columbans serve. You will meet missionaries, lay partners, and the communities we journey with in moments that inspire, challenge and encourage reflection.
Why TikTok?
Because mission means meeting people where they are. Many young people and families now receive stories and form connections through short-form digital content. We want to be present in that space - not to follow trends, but to share meaningful stories of faith in action.
We would be grateful if you could:
• Follow the page
• Like and share the videos
• Encourage young people in your family, parish or school community to connect
Every follow and share helps extend the reach of Columban mission and amplifies voices from the margins. Thank you for walking with us as we continue to find new ways to proclaim the Gospel in our time.

On 28 January 2026, St. Pius X Parish made history by launching its first formal recycling program, becoming the first Catholic parish in Fiji to establish dedicated recycling bins on church grounds. This milestone was achieved through a partnership between Columban JPIC and the Pacific Recycling Foundation (PRF), which provided both the "I-Recycle" stations and essential waste management training to the parish-based SEMA Group.Read more: https://shorturl.at/0RSU0
