Maryknoll Superior General reflects on Fides Agency's founder

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Maryknoll Superior General Father Lance P. Nadeau, M.M., wrote a reflection on the history of the Fides news agency and its founder, Father John Considine, M.M.

Father Considine established Fides in 1927 to increase awareness of missionary work among the People of God through the press. Before the internet, the agency used newspapers, magazines, and leaflets to share stories of missionaries working in locations such as Hong Kong, Nairobi, and New Delhi.

The reflection was released in connection with World Mission Sunday.
