Missio and the Mill Hill Missionaries are very excited to share a series of special Mission Masses in each one of the new Pastoral Areas of the Clifton Diocese in 2024.

Last year delegates from parishes across Clifton Diocese came together to ‘encourage one another to and build each other up (1 Thess 5.11)’, as they discerned how the nine new Pastoral Areas would best work and bring the faithful closer to each other and to God.

We are delighted to be able to take part in that journey, by holding special Mission Masses in each Pastoral area throughout 2024.

Bringing our hearts for our global family

Father Gary Brassington, Diocesan Director for Missio in Clifton, invites all Missio volunteers, supporters, and the wider Diocesan community to come together in prayer for our global Church.

Brother Eddie Slavinski MHM will be joining Fr Gary to share his own experience as a missionary. He’ll be encouraging support for the work of Missio and the Mill Hill Missionaries through prayer, solidarity, and donations to the Red Box.

Our Mission Masses

Coming together to share faith and love with each other and our wider Church family is such a vital and beautiful part of our life as a Church. Our Mission Masses are designed to fling wide the Church doors and invite in the world as our sisters and brothers. In this way, we keep the Church a vibrant, strong and inclusive environment, and spread the Good News of the Gospel to all people through our prayers and support for missionaries and the communities they serve.

‘I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this invitation is not meant for him or her, since “no one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord”.’

– Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium I.3
