Be the Lord’s ‘Witnesses’ in Prayer and Support This World Mission
Sunday
Today, World Mission Sunday, Pope Francis reminds us that in Baptism
we are all called by the Lord to be His missionaries: “You shall be my
witnesses” (Acts 1:8). Joining Catholics worldwide this Sunday, we offer
our prayers and generous financial support, through the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith, to the Pope’s missions.
When you contribute to the World Mission Sunday collection, you make
it possible for the Pope to provide mission support to:
• 844,000 catechists teaching the faith
• 258,540 Religious Sisters caring for children and families
• 38,140 seminarians preparing for the priesthood
• 26 million children in primary schools
• 12,000 clinics caring for the sick and dying
• 8,750 homes for orphaned children and the elderly
Your prayers are most treasured, and they, along with financial help
offered today, WORLD MISSION SUNDAY, answer Christ’s call to be His
witnesses. Thank you!
