The Far East Magazine which has been published by the Missionary Society of St Columban (Maynooth Mission to China) since 1918 was instrumental in Denis’ decision to join the society. The Columbans appealed to Denis as a group of tough individuals working hard to spread the Gospel, and tirelessly to help bring the fullness of human life to those most in need. The society seemed to be one that encouraged innovation and the development of one’s gifts and skills to bring this about.

Denis was first appointed to Pakistan in 1982. After language studies, he worked in the southern province of Sindh among groups of tribal people. His first parish was that of St. Joseph’s based in the town of Matli. After 2 years here, Fr. Denis moved to the parish of St. Thomas based in Badin where he worked among Punjabi and Parkari Koli communities. As well as his parish ministry and evangelisation, Denis helped to translate the Liturgy into Parkari, ran adult literacy programmes. He also enjoyed developing alternative means of energy and desalination for neighbouring villages.

In 1991 Fr. Denis took a sabbatical and studied Spirituality and Spiritual Direction and Counselling at Fordham University, New York City, USA. He graduated with a master’s degree in 1993 and returned to Pakistan in 1994 during very troubled times. He supervised the running of a language school in the mountain town of Murree during the summer of 1995 and returned to the parish of Matli that same winter. Bonded labour was outlawed and the parish were heavily involved in the rehabilitation of freed bonded workers and their families who had been exploited and mistreated whilst in illegal employment. In September 1998 the Christian village of Mariamabad, on parish property was attacked in an attempt to enslave the people. Denis was badly wounded and hospitalised for some time. Upon returning to the parish after a slow recovery, Denis spent less time visiting remote villages and dedicated much of his time to leading religious retreats and counselling religious people around the country.

In the summer of 2002 Denis was appointed to the British region to support mission promotion and awareness and moved to the Solihull residence. Having an interest in IT and communications, Denis built the society’s first website in 2003. A year later in 2004, Denis was elected Regional Director of the Columbans in Britain. Serving two terms as Director he stepped down in 2010 and continued working to promote mission around the region. Denis is now in his second three year term as Vice-Director. Besides helping to coordinate the Columban Society in Britain along with Fr. Peter Hughes, he remains an active member of the Mission Awareness team.

Denis Victor Carter, Baron CarterPC (17 January 1932 - 18 December 2006) was a British agriculturalist and Labour Co-operative politician.

Carter was born in Elephant and Castle in London, where his parents, Albert and Annie Carter, worked in a tea warehouse and as an office cleaner, respectively. They later moved to Hove to run a sweetshop, and he was educated at the JesuitXaverian College in Brighton. He did national service in the Suez Canal^[1] Zone in Egypt from 1950 to 1952, and then studied at the East Sussex Institute of Agriculture and the Essex Institute of Agriculture, where he obtained a national diploma in agriculture, winning the Queen's Award for the country's highest marks. He later studied at Oxford, gaining a B.Litt. In 1957, he founded Agricultural Accounting and Management (AKC Ltd), which grew to manage and handle the accounting for a large number of farms, mainly in southern England and averaging 1,300 acres (5 km²). In 1968, Carter founded and then worked for 30 years with United Oilseeds, which became a substantial farm trading operation, introducing large-scale oilseed rape marketing into Britain, and with WE & DT Cave, which raised thousands of pigs in Wiltshire.

Carter stood for Parliament in Basingstoke at the 1970 general election, without success, defeated by Conservative politician David Mitchell.

He was nominated as a Labour 'working peer' by Neil Kinnock, and raised to a life peerage as Baron Carter, of Devizes in the County of Wiltshire, on 23 March 1987.^[2] In opposition, he was Labour spokesman on social security in the House of Lords from 1988 to 1990, and on health from 1989 to 1992. He was also an opposition whip from 1987, and deputy chief whip from 1990 to 1992.

He was appointed Captain of the Gentlemen-at-Arms in the House of Lords when the Labour gained power in 1997, the post usually bestowed upon the Government Chief Whip in the Lords, and joined the Privy Council of the United Kingdom. He also chaired the BBC Rural Affairs and Agriculture Committee for five years from 1985, and in 1993 was appointed to chair the UK Co-operative Council. As the government chief whip in the House of Lords, he steered the governments ambitious programme of legislation, including the Human Rights Act, through the Lords, and was involved in the negotiations over the reform of the House of Lords that led to the compromise in the House of Lords Act 1999, which retained 92 hereditary peers in the first stage of reform.

In 2001 Sky News investigative journalist Gerard Tubb revealed Denis Carter's farming company was linked to illegal sales of swill fed pigs to a major supermarket supplier. In 2002 Sky News showed video of pigs kept in sow stalls on the company's Wiltshire farm, a practice which had been banned in the UK during his time in government. He denied any knowledge of wrongdoing or of animals being kept in stalls on his farm, but it was later revealed that four years earlier Janet Jones, the wife of the then leader of the Lords Lord Richards, had published a diary describing pigs kept in the same stalls on the farm. She wrote: 'Denis told us he was not 'happy' with them.' Denis Carter lost his government position in a cabinet reshuffle two months later in May 2002.

He was President of the Institute of Agricultural Management from 1996 to 1997, a post to which he returned from 2002 to 2006.

Denis Carter married Teresa Greengoe in 1957; both their children predeceased him, a son Andrew at the age of 19 in 1982 and a daughter Catherine at the age of 44 in 2004. As a result of this, the parents set up the Andrew and Catherine Carter Foundation Trust to help disabled people. He was made an honorary member of the Royal Society of Psychiatrists in recognition of his work for the disabled. He died of cancer.
