X. L. 2021-11-30 / 240 The Medical Missionaries of Mary The Vicar of Christ having expressed a wish for a Society of Religious willing to undertake medical work in the Mission S Eire , through Gods' Grace ever attentive to the wishes of Rome , immediately responded to the call . From the days of Columbill and Gall the missionary apostolate in foreign lands ever enthralled the sons and daughters of Eire. Now the call seems novel.

The Missionaries from Eire have no interest in any earthly Empire. They have no desire to establish any special form of government, and they have a keen natural sympathy with all peoples anxious to keep their native arts and languages. Their only desire is to spread the Kingship of Christ. They remember the long years of preparation Spent by St. Patrick before coming, obedient to Rome - as a foreign Missioner to Eire - They recall how carefully he learnt Eire's own native language before he raised the Standard of the Cross in Royal Meath, in 432 A.D.

Through these services they
