Missionary Cooperation Plan, USA, 2014
ORANGE (New Jersey USA) June 11, 2014 -- Seventeen Salesian Missionaries from fourteen provinces, one delegation, and one missionary diocese gathered at the Don Bosco Residence (NJ) for a day of orientation in preparation for their summer assignments to preach on behalf of Salesian Missions in 109 parishes located in thirty-eight dioceses/archdioceses in the United States.

During the next eight weeks the members of this year’s mission band will tell the stories of Salesian Mission Work in provinces of The Antilles, Africa East, South Africa, Zambia, Sudan, Central America, Sri Lanka, The Philippines, India (Bangalore, Bombay, Dimapur, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Madras, New Delhi, Tiruchy) and in the Syro-Malabar Diocese of Thuckulay in India represented by Salesian Bishop George Rajendran.

Four confreres from the United States will also help with the appeals: one from the Eastern Province and three from the Western Province.

This annual program of the Church and the Society of the Propagation of the Faith in the United States has a two fold purpose. First, the many mission congregations, lay organizations and mission dioceses get a chance to personally appeal for prayer and financial support from Catholics of the U.S.  Secondly, U.S. Catholics get the opportunity to be educated about what is happening in mission fields today.

MCP preaching emphasizes solidarity and understanding of situations that make life so difficult for so many people and calls to action on behalf of the one human family.  This preaching helps to overcome the divisions in this world, to bind those who have more to the poor, and to make the free zealous for the rights of the oppressed. It drives the comfortable and secure to take risks for the victims of tyranny and war. (cfr. US Catholic Bishops’ statement, “Called to Global Solidarity: International Challenges for U.S. Parishes.”
