World Mission Sunday has been celebrated since 1926 as a universal parish encounter to bring spiritual and material assistance to those who long for the love of Christ. Some parishes this year have already forwarded the mission donations they regularly receive - Thank you! Help us ensure Catholic Missions get the support they need through a special missionary collection on October 24. Pope Francis calls us on World Mission Sunday to be "missionaries of hope" and to celebrate "prayer" and "sharing" for the poor and marginalized in more than 1200 dioceses. As we pray in the spirit of the Eucharist on World Mission Sunday we can rejoice in our unity as missionaries forming disciples of Jesus. For more information about the missionary nature of our universal church, contact Deacon Dave Robertson, Mission Director, Diocese of London - (519) 488-0846 - [email protected]
