Next Week......
World Mission Sunday is Next Week!
We are called through our Baptism to be part of the Church’s missionary efforts, through prayer, self-sacrifice, and support of the Mission Church through material aid.
This year, Pope Francis asks us to respond to that call, saying, “Here I Am, Send Me!

To “send” ourselves, we can: • PRAY for the Church’s worldwide missionary work
• OFFER financial HELP and CHARITY through the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith for vulnerable communities throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Islands.
