SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23rd

World Mission Sunday is a day set aside for the Catholic Church throughout the world to publicly renew its commitment to the missionary movement, coordinated by the Pontifical Mission Societies, who are also known as Missio. It was created by Pope Pius XI in 1926 as the day of prayer for missions.

World Mission Sunday is celebrated on the penultimate (next-to-last) Sunday of October every year. The theme for last year in 2021 was:

"We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard." Acts 4:20

Planning for the 2022 celebration is still pending for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston & how the parishioners of St. Anthony of Padua can take part.
