Apostleship of the Sea (AoS) is a front-line service for the care of seafarers. This year it celebrates its 90th anniversary. In addition to numerous celebrations throughout the year, on October 19 and 20 members of the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerants in Rome and representatives of AoS from 11 European countries and a few from further afield met in the Conforti Institute, Coatbridge, to celebrate the anniversary and to look to what the future will bring for AoS.
AoS Great Britain (GB) reported that the meeting brought an encouraging message, full of practical common-sense about future challenges in seafaring ministry and how AoS worldwide would adapt their ministry to encompass any development in merchant seafaring.
