Dear friends,
nternational Missionary Benefit Societycelebrated its 60th anniversary in 2025.. A symposium on the theme of social protection around the world kicked off the anniversary celebrations on 27 November.
It featured high-quality presentations on health issues, particularly for religious workers: the unique opportunity offered by IMS; the need to consider regional health issues and limited access to healthcare in West Africa; the importance of health for priests and bishops in the face of ageing and high healthcare costs; as well as an overview of global health challenges... This gives us a glimpse into the future, where there is still so much to be done to support the most vulnerable, through proven measures such as reduced contributions and exceptional assistance.
With this Special 60th Anniversary Newsletter, we are delighted to share with you this day of exchange, celebration and rejoicing.
With fraternal regards,,
Sister Elisabeth Auliac,
President of IMS
