We would like to welcome you to the SPICMA website, which will
tell you about some of the evangelisation, development, and relief
work that we are doing in the developing world mission
territories.
SPICMA was set up
in 1967 in the Parish of St. Peter in Chains, Hornsey, London.
Several people at our church wanted to support the work of Fr.
Bernard Phelan, a Mill Hill Missionary, recently ordained at St
Peter's where he had grown up. So SPICMA (Special Projects in
Christian Missionary Areas) was born – and then it grew and grew..
The
charity has assisted with the building of churches, mission schools,
hospitals and clinics, the provision of pharmaceutical products and
ambulances, the financing of bore holes and the relief of
starvation. It has also supported the provision of education in
mission schools to children who were orphaned as a result of both
AIDS and war.
SPICMA usually works through
the various Missionary Congregations and Diocesan Clergy as we can
then be certain that the relief gets to the people it is
intended for.
Although we are a Catholic organisation, we help people of all
faiths and ethnic background.
SPICMA is still unique, in
that all our workers are volunteers. We are small in number but
collectively we have over forty years experience and skills in a number of
areas, which we hope will benefit the organisation and, above all,
the people we endeavour to help with your support.
Please
explore our web site and join us in our efforts either by helping
with your prayers, or by giving us your time and expertise, and or
by a financial contribution. |
