ATLANTA—Halfway around the world and immersed in an unfamiliar culture, St. Jude the Apostle parishioner Carmen Hilmes still recognizes the oneness of faith in God.

“The universality of our faith has been awe-inspiring,” said Hilmes, who has been stationed as a missionary in the Cambodian capital city of Phnom Penh since September.

She is serving as part of a group of commissioned Salesian Lay Missioners who are spread throughout the world—this group in Ethiopia, Bolivia and Cambodia—completing one-year mission commitments.
