You will be active, it is not a sedentary life. The St. James Society assumes all legitimate medical expenses for a priest not covered by a Health Plan. At any rate, he will be taken care of. You are expected to travel home for preaching every second year, at least. One month a year.
Travel is at the missionary's own expense.
As part of his commitment to the Society, the missionary is asked to be available for Society preaching assignments. Preaching helps not only to raise funds for the work in the missions, but to raise awareness of that work among the faithful as well. In addition to the Archdiocese of Boston, preaching is done throughout the United States, Canada and Scotland. The priest may choose to fulfill this obligation either in three assignments done every year or in five assignments in alternate years. The preaching dates for the Society in his home diocese, everyone benefits.
