In October, we pray with Pope Francis that every baptised person will respond to the call to follow Jesus Christ in their lives and witness to others the transforming power of his Gospel.

‘The joy that radiates from those attracted by Christ and by his Spirit is what can make any missionary initiative fruitful.’ – Pope Francis

This month’s focus

It’s Mission Month! On the penultimate Sunday of October, the entire global Church comes together to pray for and support the Missionary Church. It’s a moment of grace to express solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ who are living in situations of poverty, violence and oppression. Here are some ways to get involved in Mission this month:

• Support our campaign: Without your donations, we can’t do our vital work. Please donate to World Mission Sunday here>>
• Pray with us for World Mission! Add your tweets, facebook and instagram posts to our prayer wall using the hashtag #MissioPrayerWall. They’ll show here>>
