The
Missionaries of the Poor (M.O.P.) is an international monastic order
of Brothers dedicated to "Joyful Service with Christ on the
Cross" to serve the poorest of the poor. The order was
started in 1981 by Father Richard Ho Lung and has now grown
to over 500 brothers around the world.
We have free
missions around the globe. Our main home is in Kingston,
Jamaica, where we maintain six mission homes. The Brothers
also serve the Lord with their acts of mercy in Jamaica
(Kingston), India
(Andhra
Pradesh & Orissa), the
Philippines (Naga City & Cebu), Haiti (Cap-Haitien),
Uganda (Kampala), Kenya
(Nairobi) and the United States (Monroe, NC). A
new mission in Indonesia is currently being established.
We welcome lay
volunteers to come and join us in our work and welcome all to join
our spirituality and prayer life. Our mission is to spread the
Good News of Jesus Christ primarily by works of mercy and
secondarily through liturgy, preaching, music, teaching and
sacraments.
