PATRICK'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY, but we are more often called "The Kiltegan Fathers" because our headquarters are near the small village of Kiltegan in Co. Wicklow, Ireland, about forty-five miles (65km) south of Dublin, the capital city. What do we do?        Our basic task is to reveal Jesus Christ and his Gospel to those who do not know him, throughout the world.        And because Jesus himself said: "I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full", we involve ourselves in any aspiration that aims to advance people's lives, both spiritually and materially.        Our concern is for everyone, but especially for those whose lives are emptied by poverty, disease, famine or displacement.        For this reason, you'll find us not only preparing for Baptism and looking after their various spiritual needs, but also engaged in a wide variety of projects for the betterment of their material lives.        Why do we do it?        We do it because we believe that people everywhere have the right to know about Jesus Christ, in whom we can find the answer to the deepest questions of the human heart... about God, human destiny, life, death, truth.        We take Christ and his mission seriously, and do so in response to his call "Go, then, to all peoples everywhere, and make them my disciples" (Matthew 28:19-20).        As Christians, we want to share with others the goods we possess, starting with the most precious gift of all... our faith.        Where do we do this?        We do it in:          Brazil Cameroon Grenada Kenya Malawi Nigeria South Africa Sudan Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe                        St. Patrick's Missionary Society - Kiltegan, Co.
