The Catholic Medical Center (CMC) in South Korea and the Mongolian Church signed a memorandum of understanding about management of the St. Mary Clinic in Ulaanbaatar yesterday. The clinic in the compound of the Bayanzurkh Cathedral is the only hospital run by the Catholic Church in Mongolia and focuses on the poorest people. It has been undergoing reconstruction and will reopen in July. CMC will support it by providing medical facilities, personnel and education. Bishop Wenceslao Padilla of Ulaanbaatar prefecture said that with the MoU the clinic and the Mongolian Church will better serve the poorest in Mongolia. Father Lemigio Lee Dong-ik, head of the CMC, told the signing ceremony that St. Mary Clinic will grow into the role of CMC's counterpart in Mongolia. KO13913.1648

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
