Celebrated every year on the second-to-last Sunda  of October, World Mission Sunday is the day when  Catholics around the world unite to support the missionary work of the Church. Established by Pope Pius XI in 1926, it remains the only annual global  collection that directly supports the 1,124 mission territories where the Church is young, struggling, or    persecuted. On this day, every parish, in every diocese, in every country, joins in prayer and giving to ensure  that missionaries can continue their vital work  building churches, forming priests, supporting catechists, and serving communities in need.                  
Thank you for your generosity!
