Far fewer have an opportunity to actively grow in their faith, especially young adults. Many of those who are not Christian have never even heard of Jesus Christ.

Yet it would not be until 2012 that this idea would really take flight. While Tricia was serving in mainland China through an educational nonprofit, the spiritual needs of those around her became increasingly evident to the point where she began spending much of her time assisting with the pastoral needs of the local community. A later trip to Japan, India and Hong Kong would reveal that these other Asian countries with far greater religious freedom were also in need of greater pastoral care and the beautiful hope and love that only our Lord Jesus Christ can offer. Inspired by a fellow missionary in Asia and motivated by the lives of others in Asia, the St. Francis Xavier Lay Missionary Society was formed to focus on sharing the truth and love of Jesus Christ with young adults in Asia. Like our patron saint, we seek to represent Jesus Christ to others through compassion, caring, teaching and service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/48dfe7e6-9475-4c71-8827-d87840190d4b/St-Dominic-group.jpg Our Mission - Our Vision The St. Francis Xavier Lay Missionary Society is dedicated to pursuing the Christian call to mission by serving in Asia in an effort to draw all people, especially young adults, into a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God. As Catholic lay missionaries, we devote ourselves to bringing the love of Christ to non-Christians and providing faith formation for those already baptized to form loving faith communities of intentional disciples empowered by the Holy Spirit and dedicated to serving Christ in every aspect of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/2f5ffaa1-2178-49ce-8aa3-4616fc261982/Mission.png Our Mission - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115940176-7P91JIVWNZ0YR7U7DPW1/71498978_1165160017011778_2184226363072839680_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115937007-90YUTREIFSW3AJHRMCF0/56656167_1049505701910544_1048474355303972864_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115704479-BZ208R0WIGV9GXNT7P2E/28378659_788127148048402_5405783026708861413_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115935213-M6UKLN77MABU1BT0D4PF/61644328_1085547138306400_7612137368115478528_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115934508-DDS4MDAVDJW4XK7HZESB/55857727_1044702092390905_8741040633919045632_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115935198-A66EPXF9V5QCT2TIF8NB/56229262_1047721045422343_9634015371853824_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115936369-COTQ0I9LDV4KMMC1GD1J/58619772_1058498014344646_3661067257397641216_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115936792-ADEXJOJK1QW61ILGUQZP/69980920_1153720148155765_1973869202901041152_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115937344-06SEMI9WZSD34Z242A7H/62583073_1093929617468152_6963196083459588096_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115937718-UM7BE7AIJDY2SYHY3XGU/16178991_613916452136140_2120662128013076367_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115937910-HORBZRA039JGDYJ80943/33139955_828909443970172_5595881983373737984_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115938367-HV98QZ6G9BVJFPV3Z7IE/56365774_1045231869004594_4182655790995210240_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115940341-NDFN3G8YBUGLDJZEG8KF/56242502_1048216332039481_220149410728771584_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115938502-6AHJGVZXF1R5YGSQ622G/55861230_1045213615673086_7762499886771077120_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115938960-47BJVKILRAXFR7M6VQAJ/10173811_224751601052629_527334338_n.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115939230-C9KD19FYNN8GBZZQSI1C/15731753_606427332885052_338341152598721899_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616115939630-FZHUKHZBLW6XQKSCHG19/77093506_1219034794957633_28668571693350912_o.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616116753202-MBK4ENJZ26UZT1AQF1XE/Picture12.png Our Mission https://www.laymissionary.org/support daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/515b9ee4-3013-4880-86ae-92a7cd3814a3/donate1.jpg Donate to Support Our Mission - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1633555577196-642VF7538FZM4OMRIYYH/collage2.jpg Donate to Support Our Mission - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1633559352448-PFPHW1N95NAMDN24YWQ1/Called+%26+Gifted+Workshop2.jpg Donate to Support Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/515b9ee4-3013-4880-86ae-92a7cd3814a3/donate1.jpg Donate to Support Our Mission - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1633563856164-WZB75T2XEE951EH03HUO/unsplash-image-cfKC0UOZHJo.jpg Donate to Support Our Mission - Thank you for your support!

an important gateway to East Asia with its blend of modern and traditional, East and West, and a diverse mix of people and backgrounds. With just under 10% of Hong Kong baptized as Christians and a population with as much socio-economic diversity as it has ethnic variety, there are a myriad of opportunities to serve as a witness of God's grace and to share God's truth and love with others. Our ministry focuses on reaching out to young adults within the more metropolitan areas to help them engage more fully with their faith and discern God's will for their lives. Much of this is done through developing and leading faith formation programs, empowering a young adult lay leadership, and doing grassroots evangelical and service ministry. We serve with the blessing and support of the local diocese in warm cooperation with the efforts of local parishes and religious orders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616111900063-JK3CVTVJ2LKKJPYKJKUR/kerala-sari.jpg Mission in Asia - India "Many, many people hereabouts are not becoming Christians for one reason only: there is nobody to make them Christians. ... "[Would they but] listen actively to what God is saying to them. They would forget their own desires, their human affairs, and give themselves over entirely to God’s will and his choice. They would cry out with all their heart: Lord, I am here! What do you want me to do? Send me anywhere you like - even to India." - St. Francis Xavier to St. Ignatius of Loyola, India, 1542-1544 In the land of St. Thomas the Apostle, St. Francis Xavier and St. Teresa of Calcutta you will find a deep rich faith in many Indians. Yet the struggle in India as in much of the rest of the world, is truly engaging young adults in their faith and encouraging others to see how Christ has called them to be a bold witness of their faith. The Christian faith is very much alive in many regions throughout India, and we serve to help it flourish further with many opportunities for evangelization, faith formation, and social justice. Following a transformative experience to India in 2012 and requests from local church leaders to send missionaries to engage Indian young adults more intentionally in their faith, we began to develop programs with priests and sisters in southern India to help form young Christians more fully in their faith and share the faith with the curious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf305998456c30001d3a37d/1616112193986-K6TTHK9IEW0WJBY4P2G3/Nagoya-jo.jpg Mission in Asia -
