World Mission Day

Today is World Mission Sunday. It was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1926 as a collection of the universal Church to support missionary work through the Pontifical Mission Societies, of which Catholic Missions is the Australian arm. Catholics are called to pray for and support those who promote the Church’s faith and good works in nations of need, including the 1150 territories where the Gospel has not yet been received, only recently embraced or is courageously upheld in the face of persecution.

The 2024 theme chosen by Pope Francis is: Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet (Mt 28:19) — our shared, urgent call to bring God’s inclusive love to all.
