Consolato Missionary Sisters mark 10th anniversary in Mongolia

14 Aug. 2013: In Mongolia, Consolata Missionary Sisters in Ulan Bator on Tuesday marked ten years in the country bearing witness to Christ. The story of the Consolata Missionary Sisters is one of faith, love and proclaiming the Word of God in a country that is very poor, where Christians are a small minority and Catholics number only a thousand. "People here naturally have been searching for God and looking for meaning in their way of life," said Sister Sandra Garay, an Argentine member of the Consolata Missionaries serving in Mongolia.. With their "fervour of evangelisation", the Consolata Missionaries brought the consolation of Mary to those in spiritual and material need.The path of evangelisation "started from scratch," Sr Garay said. Today, "it is a new beginning in the pastoral mission of Mongolia. It is a difficult terrain, but God works wonders. And the Year of Faith encourages hope for our people," she said.
According to the latest estimates, Christians of all denominations represent slightly more than 2 per cent of the Mongolian population, which is largely Buddhist.
