What is World Mission Sunday?
We celebrate World Mission Sunday each year as a day set aside for Catholics across the United States and around the world to recommit our missionary hearts in support of our evangelizing mission.
World Mission Sunday is one day with a year-long mission. As a key source of financial assistance for priests and religious and lay leaders in the Missions, World Mission Sunday provides the funds that builds churches and supports the proclamation of the Gospel in some 120 countries around the globe. Support the missionary work of the Church today in the most generous way you are able.”
