WORLD MISSION SUNDAY 2023

  • St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church 7801 Bay Branch Drive The Woodlands, Texas (map)

SAVE THE DATE:

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22nd

EVERY YEAR, SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENS on the next-to-last Sunday of October.

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY joins all Catholics of the world into one community of faith. At Mass that Sunday, we recommit ourselves to our common vocation, through Baptism to be missionaries, through prayer, participation in the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith

Pope Francis’ message for World Mission Sunday this year reflects on the theme: “You shall be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8). He reminds us that, “every Christian is called to be a missionary and witness to Christ. And the Church, the community of Christ’s disciples, has no other mission than that of bringing the Gospel to the entire world by bearing witness to Christ. To evangelize is the very identity of the Church..”

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

Please join us on this special day by wearing your Mission shirts to Mass & sharing your testimony to all!
