In his message for this World Mission Sunday on October 18th, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that the Church’s mission is rooted in unity with Christ and communion with one another. When believers live reconciled and centered on Christ, they become a powerful witness of the Gospel. This unity strengthens the Church’s ability to evangelize and invites all people to encounter Jesus and his saving love.
Mission belongs to the entire Church. Every baptized person is called to share God’s love through prayer, generosity, and witness. Inspired by the dedication of missionaries around the world, we continue working together so that the message of Christ may reach every community, especially those most in need.
We invite you to become a World Mission Sunday volunteer and help us share the missionary spirit in parishes and communities across the country. If you would like to participate, please take a moment to complete this short form. Your support will help bring the message of the missions to more people.
Materials will be available soon. Resources will include posters for your parish and school, suggested homilies and parish announcements for each Sunday of October, bulletin inserts, Prayers of the Faithful, a guide to praying the World Mission Rosary, Pope Leo's message for World Mission Sunday, music for liturgical celebrations, a children's activity booklet, social media assets, and more!
