A country where CICM had set up its mission is Japan. Since the congregation had plenty
of candidate-missionaries after the war, and since the developments in China provided additional
manpower options to other mission countries, the development was particularly strong in the
1950’s and 1960’s. Catholic schools were well-regarded and added to the reputation of the
Catholic Church. In the following decades, social, economic, and cultural developments
increasingly brought the local clergy to the forefront of pastoral care.

With the presence of the CICM in Africa, they were able to put up several mission
stations; they particularly took care of the many child slaves that were sold by traders. With
support of the government, they created school colonies that provided education and training for
those children, in view of their integration in the armed forces, the administration, or as
catechists or technical helpers of the missionaries.

In the Philippines, the Church grew, up to the point that it started to provided
missionaries to various mission-countries in the world. Also, with the school that was built, Saint
Louis University is considered to be one of the most prestigious schools in Baguio. The
graduates of the school are excellent in their intellectual and spiritual life because of the training
they have undergone.

Through the years in Indonesia, in spite of the World War II prison camps and the
guerilla wars in the following decade, the congregation has founded parishes, schools,
dormitories, and polyclinics; an organization offering household-related training to
Catholic housewives, and an agricultural school also belong to the CICM inititatives.
 In Haiti, around 75% of the population are Catholics, but there is a lot of
syncretism. As in the Voodoo cult, that mixes Christian themes with African animism.
During the 1960’s, CICM brothers came to help in construction and repair works. In the
meantime, the mission became a full-fledged province in 1969. Activities were for a long
time limited to those related to the traditional parish, but gradually new initiatives were
taken.

The CICM took charge of two parishes in Brazil in 1963. There were plenty of
problems that has led Brazil to become today a growing drug trafficking hub which
contributes to violence, poverty, and crime. But aside from doing classical parish work
and administering sacraments, the CICM gets involved in the set-up of a pastoral-
catechetical center, that soon became famous because of its catechetical publications and
pastoral methodology. At the same time, the missionaries were working hard to
implement the many recommendations from the second Vatican council, like in liturgy,
where the language of the people had to be introduced.

Under the influence of political developments in Spain and in some of its

colonies, the Philippines got involved in a war for independence from the Spanish
motherland. Since the Spanish religious opposed such move, they got the ire of Filipino
revolutionaries on them. The CICM missionaries built up a school which is now Saint
Louis University.

Recently in Mongolia, CICM missionaries had to adjust to the harsh climate, the
scarce and different food; they had to learn something of the different language of the
locals, as they were dealing with non-Christian religious conservatism as well as
indifference among the locals. They also had to deal with the sometimes aggressive
missionary methods of their non-Catholic counterparts. Even as progress was very slow
in the beginning of the 1992 missionary drive, bishop Wens and his team managed to
baptize several hundreds of Mongolians without proselytizing.
