Mongolia - two more Congregations added to the fold: MC and FMA

ULAAN BAATAR: 14th June 2005:-- Mongolia, the 'domisal' focus for 2005, is on the move again.  Just last month the formal, quiet opening of the new community and work in Darkhan took place.  In the space of a year that work has been chosen, built, paid for and is very much alive as the Congregation's newest presence.
    And now comes the good news that both the Salesian Sisters and the Missionaries of Charity have taken formal steps to set up in Mongolia.  In the former case, the first week of June saw a visit by Sr Dominica Park, FMA Provincial of Korea; in the latter case, a forthcoming visit by the Superior General of the MC Sisters, Sr Nirmala, should see finalisation of a plan to bring another community into Darkhan, amidst the poorest of the poor.
    While a number of practical decisions as to who, where and how have yet to be arrived at, the FMA decision to extend their missionary presence into Mongolia is a welcome one.  Almost certainly, along similar lines to those adopted by the SDB community, the new missionaries will be a cosmopolitan group, and a well-prepared one in terms of missiology and experience.
    There are almost unlimited options for work - Mongolia is a large country with many needs.  But the existing SDB presence in the capital city and in Darkhan certainly offer a stable basis for an apostolic partnership on behalf of the poorest of young people, boys and girls both.  There is already a flourishing street-children work run by Salesians in the capital, with equal numbers of girls and boys in need of help.

VOCABULARY
domisal: An in-house Salesian term meaning 'Salesian Mission Sunday', the annual opportunity to focus on a missionary presence.
cosmopolitan: coming from all over the world; international.
