Today is World Mission Sunday, which is always celebrated on the second to last Sunday of October. World Mission Sunday is a special day that unites Catholics worldwide in prayer, solidarity, and support for the Church’s mission efforts. This year’s theme, chosen by Pope Francis, is rooted in the Gospel of Matthew: “Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet,” reflecting the inclusive and urgent call to bring God’s love to everyone. Meant to be held in every parish in the world, the proceeds benefit 1,150 territories where the Gospel has not yet been received, has been only recently embraced, or is courageously upheld in the face of persecution. Join us in this universal mission to spread the Gospel and invite all to experience the joy of Christ’s message! If you would like to donate visit www.onefamilyinmission.org.
