In his message for World Mission Sunday 2021, Pope Francis stated: ‘Jesus needs hearts capable of experiencing vocation as a true love story that urges them to go forth to the peripheries of our world as messengers and agents of compassion’. On Mission Sunday, through prayer, reflection and material help, we express our support of missionaries from all continents who are striving to bring the true love of Christ to all who have yet to receive it.
“It is time to count on what unites us, rather than what divides us’”
World Mission Sunday gives missionaries the courage needed to go where others fear to tread so that they can keep loving, serving, and sharing God’s peace with people who need their help.
