All stamps are of value to us. Even the most basic stamp you use to send a regular letter.
We can sell any stamp in support of Missions: whether it’s old or new, stamped or unstamped, from your own country or overseas.
What’s more, stamp albums and old post cards are a real help to our apostolates too. People like buying them.
This is how you can help:
Collect stamps from relatives, friends and acquaintances, in school, at your place of work, in your parish.
Cut them out, but make sure that you leave a margin of 0.5 to 1 cm on all four sides of the stamp. Please do not peel or steam them off the paper.
Send us your stamps when you have collected enough to fill a large envelope or shoe box. That way you will save on postage costs.
If you have very large quantities to send, sort them into groups: for example, continuous series, overprints, special editions, commemorative stamps, machine vended stamps, foreign stamps.
Please do not send damaged stamps or stamps that are yellowing.
