World Mission Sunday is the Holy Father’s annual appeal for spiritual and financial support so that the life-giving work of overseas mission and missionaries can continue. It always falls on the second last Sunday in October, meaning this year it will be celebrated over the weekend of Sunday 24th.
This year's theme for World Mission Sunday is We Cannot Remain Silent - We Cannot But Speak About What We Have Seen and Heard (Acts 4:20). Responding to a call from Pope Francis this campaign sheds light on the dedication of missionaries to serving people in places where poverty and disadvantage are compounding the devastating impact of COVID-19. This international video showcases the images that tell the story of what we have seen and heard and what we long to share with everyone!
Fr. Michael P. O’Sullivan, M.Afr., National Director of Missio Ireland
(Every year to enhance World Mission Sunday celebrations we prepare the Mission Month Pack. These resources are designed to help individuals, parishes and communities celebrate not just World Mission Sunday, but the entire month of October.)
