Sunday, 15^th October is World Mission Sunday: This Sunday, the Holy Father invites all Catholics to contribute to a special collection. Every person in every parish in every country where the Church is present will celebrate together & share what they have, no matter how little. This is the one Sunday in the year when the Mass is celebrated exclusively for missionary activity. Donations are collected at these worldwide Masses & they go to support churches, hospitals, schools & vocations in countries where the Church is new, young or poor. It is also the one Sunday in the year when your generosity goes directly to help mission parishes overseas & reach out with Jesus’ message of hope & love. World Missions Ireland is the Holy Father’s official charity for overseas mission. It is responsible for coordinating Mission Sunday in Ireland &, through local bishops, churches, & missionary congregations around the world, ensures that resources are distributed equitably & justly on the basis of need. In offering our prayers, we join with missionaries everywhere in communion & compassion to support them in spreading the Good News, & by giving a donation we respond to Christ's call to feed the hungry & clothe the naked so please give what you can. Thank You.
