The latest issue of the Xaverian Mission Newsletter is at the printer and soon will be mailed to our subscribers. For more than 60 years the XMN has been an invitation to you to see a world larger than ourselves, marveling at all of the diverse cultural expressions of our same Catholic faith, through the work of our missionaries in twenty-one countries.
