SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19th
EVERY YEAR, SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENS ON THE NEXT-TO-LAST SUNDAY IN 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, & by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
As the Church prepares to celebrate World Mission Sunday in 2025, the late Pope Francis has given us a powerful theme that resonates deeply in this Jubilee Year: “Missionaries of Hope Among All Peoples.” In his message, the Holy Father reminds us that hope is at the heart of the Christian mission, calling every baptized person to be “messengers and builders of hope” in a world that often finds itself overshadowed by uncertainty & despair.
Pope Leo XIV
“Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak & unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.”
