It's World Mission Sunday! The Pontifical Mission Societies, a worldwide network at the service of the Pope that supports the missions and young Churches through prayer and charity, celebrates World Mission Sunday on the second to last Sunday in October. This special day is an opportunity for every baptized Catholic to answer the call to spread the Gospel to all nations by making a donation that supports the Church in mission territories. World Mission Sunday funds help to educate seminarians and religious, build churches, train catechists, and so much more. Watch Pope Leo XIV's video message for the 100th World Mission Sunday here: youtube.com/watch?v=p1Bwzdet… Make a gift to World Mission Sunday at give.pontificalmissions.org/…

Today on #WorldMissionSunday, we reflect on this year’s theme: “One in Christ, united in mission.” Established by Pope Pius XI in 1926, this year’s theme invites the Church to continue its missionary journey with joy and zeal in the Holy Spirit, praying for missionaries around the world as they bring the Gospel to all people, especially those most in need of food, shelter, medical care, and hope.
