Scarboro Missions is a society of Canadian priests, motivated by the Spirit, who dedicate themselves to the person, teaching and mission of Jesus Christ as expressed in his words:
"I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." (John 10:10)
Founded by Fr. John Mary Fraser as the China Mission College in 1918 to train and send priests to China, the society grew quickly and evolved, and became known as Scarboro Missions, a society whose members served not only in China, but elsewhere in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Canada.
The prophetic vision of Vatican Council II reawakened the baptismal call of all Catholics to actively participate in the mission of Christ. It especially revealed the vital witness of laity and the unique gifts that they offer to further God's Reign in the world. Beginning in 1974, single men and women, as well as married couples, were invited to join with Scarboro priests as global missioners for Christ and His Church.
