(Contributed by Fr. Valentine Talang, OMI)

A spiritual preparation for the Christmas celebration took place at Modonpur Credit center for domestic migrants, working in different factories. We had a really good program for our migrant brothers and sisters, offering confession and Holy Mass.

The Dhaka Archdiocese invited OMI Bangladesh to provide pastoral care for domestic migrants in the Dhaka-Narayangoan areas. Oblates agreed to lead this new ministry that will work with the migrants, most of whom are Indigenous. OMI Bangladesh is currently searching for someone to oversee this new mission and ministry. The Missionaries of Charity, (Mother Teresa’s Sisters) are cooperating with the Oblates to do this important work. Fr. Ajit Costa, OMI was appointed to look after the domestic migrants and now Fr. Subash Costa, OMI is the newly appointed person. Myself, Fr. Robi, OMI, Fr. Subash Costa, OMI and other Oblates have from time to time supported this new mission.

OMI Bangladesh: Celebrating Holy Mass with our Migrant Community December 11th, 2025

This is a small corridor of a building owned by a Hindu person and a small rented room where a Christian domestic migrant family stays. The property is owned by a Muslin person and it has become the only place to offer Holy Masses for our domestic migrant community.
 
There is no better place than these to celebrate Holy Mass with our Migrant community. This reality and the photos are one of the best Christmas reflections for me. We keep them in our prayers.
