World Mission Sunday
Gerry Boyle PP 046 9054138

 World Mission Sunday is the Pope's appeal to support overseas missions and missionaries. It takes place in every single parish in the world. The collection supports missionary activities in over 1,100 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. As young dioceses grow, they need infrastructure, especially at times of natural disasters and conflict.

Thanks to all who have returned envelopes for parish funds, priest’s offerings, Trocaire, cemeteries and other collections over the past weeks.

The World Mission Sunday message is one of hope.  Jesus Christ is risen and we cannot keep his love, compassion and mercy to ourselves. We also speak to and listen to those whose voices are small and on the margins of power. We pray for those engaged in this mission and for courage for ourselves when we have an opportunity to speak.
