Word Mission Sunday is October 18th. On this day, we respond, “Here I Am, Send Me,” to our baptismal call to mission, and we offer, at the Eucharistic celebration, our prayers and our generous financial support, through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, to continue the mission of Jesus. We are “sent” out to witness to mission in the world through our prayers and sacrifices for our brothers and sisters around the world. As always, your prayers are your most treasured gift to the missions. Your prayers and financial help offered on World Mission Sunday support mission priests, religious sisters and brothers, and lay catechists who are Christ’s witnesses to a world so in need of His healing, love, and peace.
