Description: C.I.C.M. Missionaries, Past and Present begins with the story of the Belgian Mission for China, founded by the diocesan priest Theophile Verbist in 1862. He runs the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (C.I.C.M.) until his death at Lao-hu-kou in 1868, the smallest and poorest mission station of the Provicariate of Mongolia.

Being sensitive to the signs of the times and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Congregation keeps accepting new missions and develops into an international congregation of religious missionaries who, although belonging to different cultures and races, live and work together as brothers. One heart and one soul, these international C.I.C.M. communities witness to the universal brotherhood of all men in Christ.
