SCALABRINIAN MISSION HOUSE

The Scalabrini Mission House, established in 1989, operates in the Philippines, which is fundamentally a country of origin of migrants. The Philippines experiences an annual outflows of approximately 700,000 migrant workers (including 180,000 seamen), in addition to over 50,000 migrants who settle permanently in North America or Australia every year. Government estimates place the total number of Filipinos abroad at close to seven million, including permanent and irregular migrants.

The Scalabrini Mission House responds to migration issues through the following apostolates:

- the Chaplaincy to seafarers in the port of Manila (AOS Manila);
- the secretariat in the Episcopal Commission on Migrant and Itinerant People (ECMI) of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines;
- the Scalabrini Migration Center (SMC);
- the Scalabrini Center for People on the Move (SCPM).

Migration, in almost all cases, is not an enjoyable experience, but an inevitable necessity.
