You may be more familiar with the names ‘Mill Hill’ and ‘APF’ than the name ‘Missio’, although if you have a Red Box you’ll know our logo. Here’s how it works:
Missio is the Pope’s worldwide charity for mission. There are Missio offices all over the world. As part of the Missio global family, we work anywhere the Church is poor, young or new to ignite God’s love, support missionaries, and build a strong and vibrant Church for tomorrow. ‘APF’ stands for the Association for the Propagation of the Faith. It supports Priests and Sisters overseas and it’s one strand of what Missio does. The name ‘APF’ is used less frequently these days, but we haven’t changed the vital work we do.
In England and Wales, the Red Box is the collection for helping missionaries overseas.
Mill Hill Missionaries are an international community of missionaries founded in England. We work closely with Mill Hill Missionaries in England and Wales to support and further mission around the world, and Mill Hill is guaranteed a percentage of what we collect through the Red Box.
