World Mission Sunday, observed on October 20 this year, is a powerful reminder of our call to be
missionaries. The collection taken up on this day is unique as it is mandated by the Code of
Canon Law and is essential for the survival and growth of the Church in mission territories. These
funds support the pastoral and evangelizing work of the Church, including building
churches, providing healthcare and education and trainig future priests and religious. In
places where resources are scarce, your generosity makes a profound difference. As we reflect on
the theme "Go and invite everyone to the banquet," let us remember that our participation and
support invite countless souls to the feast of God's love.
