In 2021 World Mission Sunday will be held on 24 October.
Please join us in celebrating this special day!
World Mission Sunday is celebrated in every Catholic community in the world. 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. Every parish, school and community is invited to join this special event, and every penny, pound and prayer you give to Missio helps missionaries everywhere continue their work.

Sister Veronica: ‘Women need to be there’
With Missio’s support, Sister Veronica has been leading the Women’s Interfaith Council since 2019. As a former educator, here she shares her perspective on the vital work of this project.
We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard
In the Holy Father’s message for World Mission Sunday 2021, he says:
‘Jesus needs hearts capable of experiencing vocation as a true love story that urges them to go forth to the peripheries of our world as messengers and agents of compassion’.
On this day, through prayer, reflection and material help, we express our support of missionaries from all continents who are striving to bring the true love of Christ to all who have yet to receive it.
