Next week, we join Catholics around the world for the celebration of World Mission Sunday. We are called to offer our prayers and financial help for the Church’s missionary work. World Mission Sunday was established by Pope Pius XI in 1926, with the first World Mission Sunday collection in 1927. This collection is always taken on the next to last Sunday in October. This day is celebrated in all local Churches as the feast of catholicity and universal solidarity so Christians the world over will recognize their common responsibility with regard to the evangelization of the world. The second collection next weekend will be for World Mission Sunday.
