World Mission Sunday is a day set aside for the Catholic Church throughout the world to publicly renew its commitment to the missionary movement, coordinated by the Pontifical Mission Societies, who are also known as Missio. It is celebrated on the penultimate Sunday of October every year. It is a chance to pray and give support to our sisters and brothers in Christ who live in areas of poverty, conflict, and oppression.
Mission Prayer
Loving God, inspire us to ‘go and invite everyone to the banquet.’
Nourished from gathering around your table, may our communities reflect your unconditional love, so that all are welcomed with open arms, and the most vulnerable find refuge, care, and compassion.
May our prayers and generosity bring strength to missionaries, enabling them to share the joy that faith brings, so that everyone, everywhere, may experience your hope and love, renewing and healing our world. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
