On World Mission Sunday, October 20, 2019, Pope Francis reminds us of our baptismal call to be Christ's Church on mission in the world. Today we respond to that call, through our prayers and personal sacrifices for our brothers and sisters in the Mission - in places like Uganda where people face food uncertainty and violence; in the Philippines where local clergy face martyrdom; in Oceania where peoples' livlihoods are threatened by climate change; and in remote regions of Latin America where people are hearing the Gospel for the first time. Respond on World Mission Sunday by supporting the priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay catechists who provide loving service to those most in need. "May the love for the Church's mission, which is a passion for Jesus and a passion for His people 'grow ever stronger!'" Thank you.
