29th Sunday in Ordinary Time - World Mission Sunday

Dear Parishioners;

Today is World Mission Sunday. We are called to a personal encounter with Jesus, in the Church, and to offer, through this Eucharistic celebration, our prayers and our financial support. Through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, we continue the mission of Jesus. Today, we are “sent” out to witness to the Missions in the world through our prayers and personal sacrifices for our brothers and sisters around the world. As always, your prayers are your most treasured gift to the Missions. Your prayers and financial assistance, offered today, WORLD MISSION SUNDAY, support mission priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay catechists who are Christ’s witnesses to a world so in need of His healing, love, and peace.
