World Mission Day (Mission Sunday) was proclaimed in 1926 by Pope Pius XI. Every year on the penultimate Sunday in October, the Universal Solidarity Fund of the Pontifical Mission Society for the Propagation of the Faith is fulfilled during celebrations around the world, even from the poorest regions. All of this day's collections go to projects that support the spread of God's word to the far western corners of the globe.
Based on his baptism, the Christian is to carry out a missionary vocation and thus spread the joy of God's kingdom. Mission Sunday is a chance for us to show love and solidarity with the brothers and sisters in the world who share our faith.
