Ways to Support
Our Projects in Africa
The goals of building up faith communities and church structures, providing education, health care, social development and caring for our environment have been at the heart of the SMA’s missionary work.
Over the years we have supported the care of children at Tanga House, we have helped develop housing for those that were homeless, we have assisted in the building of schools and we have continued to educate Seminarians training to become SMA Missionary Priests.
Missionary Association Cards and prayers for a loved one
You can donate to the SMA by ordering one or more Missionary Association Cards. Our cards are designed to let someone know that you have remembered them in a prayerful way. All prayer intentions received are placed before the altar in the Community Chapel of the SMA House from where you got the Card and will be remembered in our daily prayers and Masses.
We have a number of options available for Birthdays, Sympathy, Get Well, Christmas, etc.
Events in Ireland
Each year we host a selection of events such as Summer schools and camps, climate change and biodiversity conferences and events on human trafficking and advocacy.
We also host Novenas across Ireland.
