The Associate Missionaries of St Paul (AMSP) are lay Catholic members or religious who cooperate with us in our missionary work by their prayers, being well informed with what is going on in the mission especially through their reading of the Ambassador Magazine, and by making a regular contribution to support the work of MSP. So, we need you to become an associate member and join us in the work of mission. The AMSP:
- Desire association with the Missionaries of St. Paul as a means of spiritual growth;
- Are ready to be involved in the work of God through prayers, financial and moral support to the clergy;
- Willingly offer their support and bring nearer to the laity the awareness that they can work and serve God well without being ordained priests;
- Work in unity to answer the call of Christ for all to become one by sharing the apostolate/ministry of the Missionaries of St Paul.
The Associate Missionaries Benefit from opportunities to pray with the MSP at Masses, prayer services and are invited to special MSP celebrations.
Associates are remembered daily in the prayers of the MSP and are offered Masses every Frist Friday of the Month by the priests of the society and are encouraged to promote the charism and the mission of the order.
Through a special Solemn Admission Ceremony, a formal relationship is established between the Associates and the Missionaries of St. Paul.
