Missionary Children is the Church's
Mission Charity for children. Formerly known as Holy Childhood, this charity
was started in France in 1843 by Mgr. Charles deForbin Janson to raise funds
to help missionaries in China feed and clothe abandoned children.

In Scotland the charity has always run
through the Catholic Primary Schools. Following the example of the founder,
we ask children to do two things every day,
Many schools do much more but the two features of prayer and personal sacrifice are important building blocks for young Christians.

| The funds help support life by building clinics, supplying medicines and by providing nutritional help. Anything that can fit the heading 'protection of life' can be funded. That means mother and baby units and nutrition courses for mothers are funded also. |

|
The funds support education projects
for children; building funding and supplying schools. School buildings
can be quite cheaply built with local materials but pencils and jotters are
an ongoing cost.
Funding supplies is just as necessary as building the school. |

|
In Missionary Children we join with
children all over the world to help some of the poorest children in the
world, children of all faiths or none.
The donations of Scottish children aid the healthy growth, education and spiritual formation of countless children throughout the world. |
