A central part of Missio’s own mission is helping others to understand ‘mission’ itself. It is a task which we have been given directly by the Pope. The challenge is that mission isn’t something that we can learn once. It has to be regularly rediscovered and lived out daily.
For 90 years, the five-yearly Red Box Appeals in every parish across England and Wales – preached by the Mill Hill Missionaries – have been a vital way in which people deepen their understanding of what it means to be a baptised Christian; which includes developing a missionary spirit.
Our regular Mission Masses and events provide important opportunities for our supporters and volunteers to connect in prayer with missionaries; praying also for our sisters and brothers they work alongside overseas. These occasions are also for our wonderful volunteers (currently over 7,000) to meet one another and hear firsthand experiences from missionaries.

Every one of our volunteers is a vital part of our global mission, igniting God’s love in all corners of the world by raising awareness in their own parish communities.
As Anne-Marie, a Red Box Parish Coordinator, said at a recent Mission Mass in Wales: ‘You don’t have to be a missionary going out on foot. Even if you’re just counting a Red Box in your house, you’re spreading that message.’
