This Sunday, October 18th, Catholics around the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday, a day dedicated to prayer and support for missionaries and the communities they serve.
For a century, the prayers and generosity of Catholics have helped the Church grow and flourish in mission territories throughout the world. In his special video message above, Pope Leo XIV reflects on the importance of this mission in his own life, from his childhood in the United States to his years serving as a missionary in Peru.
As we celebrate this milestone, we are reminded that we are all part of the Church's mission to share Christ's love with the world. Through our prayers, generosity, and willingness to serve others, we can help carry this mission forward for generations to come.
May we answer the Holy Father's invitation to be "One in Christ, united in mission."
Join us at Pope John XXIII in the Parish Center for Held in Hope, a two-night Catholic speaker series exploring suffering, hope, and the dignity of every human life.
Thursday, October 15 | 6:30–8 PM Making Sense out of Suffering Speaker: David Cachere Discover how suffering, when united to Christ, can be transformed into an act of redemption.
