World Mission Sunday, our annual worldwide Eucharistic celebration for the Missions and missionaries of the world, will be celebrated on October 18 this year. This collection on the next-to-last Sunday in October is a unique, global effort for the entire Church to provide for the building up of over one thousand local churches in Asia and Africa, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe. Through the work of these churches, and their witness to Christ, the poor receive practical help and experience God's love and mercy, His hope and peace.
There will be a collection for World Mission Sunday this weekend. Please use the envelope provided or any envelope clearly marked World Mission Sunday and place it in the regular collection basket or drop it off at the Parish Office. Please be as generous as you are able.
