The Latin American Mission Program began in 1967 in response to the Second Vatican Council call to share church personnel with developing countries, especially Latin America.

Aims and Proposes:

• Sending out and receiving back missionaries
• Learning from the dispossessed and oppressed, both at home and in the developing countries, and standing with them in the building of a society of justice.
• Developing and encouraging a Faith response based on the life and struggle of dispossessed peoples.
• Participating in “return mission” by:
  • working with groups who are committed to social justice in Canada.
  • developing education programs in PEI which analyze the causes of exploitation of the poor and which expose the reality of their lives.
