MILL HILL MISSIONARIES



St. Joseph’s missionary society, Mill Hill Missionaries, was found in 1866 by Cardinal Herbert Vaughan the cardinal of West Minister at Mill Hill London. It was found with the aim of primary evangelisation and reached in East Africa in 1895 and over one hundred years they have been involved in building of the local church.

We are a missionary fellowship of men and women from different continents equal in variety of giftedness and commitments, touched by the spirit that cries out in us “Abba, Father” to create communities of love, sent out to cross boundaries, inspired to be seeds of hope where there is despair, of reconciliation where there is division, of freedom where there is oppression, called to be leaven of the reign of God quietly working among people of the margins taking the risk to be prophetic in our radical discipleship. True to our missionary vocation, we are ready to leave our country and our own culture and go wherever there is the greatest need.

We draw strength from our rootedness in Christ recognised in the breaking of bread and experienced in the love of the people whose lives, struggles and joys we share.

We call one another to continued conversion aware of our powerlessness and dependence, gratefully trusting in the healing presence of our faithful companion who promises to walk with us until the end of time.













Cardinal Herbart Vaughan (Our founder)
