Missionary Society of Saint Columban
The Missionary Society of St. Columban ((ラテン語:Societas Santi Columbani pro Missionibus ad Exteros)) (abbreviated as S.S.C.M.E. or S.S.C.), commonly known as the Columbans, is a missionary Catholic society of apostolic life, founded in Ireland in 1916 and approved by the Vatican in 1918. Initially it was known as the Maynooth Mission to China.〔(Columban Sisters "History" )〕 Members may be priests, seminarians or lay workers.〔(Columban Fathers "Frequently Asked Questions" )〕 Fr John Blowick, one of the two founders of the Society, also founded the Missionary Sisters of St. Columban to share in their work.
== Foundation ==
Roots. The Society was founded through the inspiration of the Reverend (later Bishop) Edward Galvin of Ireland (1882-1956). Galvin had considered serving as a missionary as a young man, but he was dissuaded by the concerns of his parents over the life of a missioner. He entered St Patrick's College (usually called Maynooth Seminary) near Dublin, to study for the priesthood for his native Diocese of Cork, and was ordained in 1909. Due to an oversupply of clergy for that diocese, his bishop suggested that Galvin offer his service in the United States, until such time as there would be an opening in Cork. Galvin followed his advice and went to serve in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn in New York City, where he was assigned to Holy Rosary Parish.
While serving there, Galvin came to know John M. Fraser, a Canadian priest, who stayed there while en route back to service in imperial China. Galvin shared with Fraser the interest he himself had long held about also serving in China. Galvin told him that he had read everything he could about that nation he could find in the Brooklyn Public Library and asked to accompany him back to China. Fraser discouraged his interest but finally advised him that he would need the authorization of his bishop for this action. Galvin wrote and received this permission. Galvin departed for China on 25 February 1912.
