POSTS STORIES REELS

Pope Leo XIV has recorded a special video message for the celebration of World Mission Sunday on Sunday 18 October. Missio, the Holy Father’s charity for world mission and tasked with coordinating World Mission Sunday, is appealing for prayers and donations to support missionaries who serve communities in need, often in some of the poorest and most challenging places on earth.

Join us this World Mission Sunday in prayer and giving for our sisters and brothers around the world (Link in bio)

In recent years, floods and cyclones have torn through rural Malawi: destroying homes, often made from mud bricks with grass-thatched roofs; washing away farms; killing livestock and forcing families to flee overnight with nothing. Now resettled far from the little they once had, parents are struggling to find food – let alone a steady income.

On October 18, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday.

Today our shared mission to bring help and hope to our sisters and brothers in desperate need around the world is as vital as ever. Through World Mission Sunday, you can support missionaries – like Fr Matthew in Malawi – reach out with practical and spiritual help to families and communities who are facing huge challenges in one of the poorest countries in Africa.

Join us in November to pray with the Holy Father for the proper use of Wealth. By not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service of the common good and in solidarity with those who have less.

🙏🕯️Resources for your classroom this November ❤️🙏

In the Catholic Church, November is a month dedicated to the Holy Souls. This month of remembrance reminds us that the love and dignity afforded to all people continues even after death. It begins with two important feast days: the Feast of All Saints (Nov 1), and the Feast of the Holy Souls (Nov 2).

Mission Together have Celebrations of the Word for both feasts. visit our Mission Together (Missio for children) website - follow the link in the bio

As we all head off for half term break, Mission Together would like to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who has prayed and fundraised with us this school year.

We love hearing how the children have been part of God's mission to share love with everyone, and every penny, pound and prayer you share with Mission Together help more children get the education, care and opportunities they need, and know that they are loved - by God and by us!

When floodwaters swallowed her village in southern Malawi, Ruth spent five days in a tree. She, her husband and their six children climbed up to escape drowning. They were rescued on the sixth day, taken to a camp and left, in her words, with ‘nothing to sustain us’.
With your support, Missio is reaching out to families like Ruth's, letting them know they're not forgotten and helping them to rebuild and heal after the trauma they have suffered. Listen to Ruth's story in her own words and find out more on our website (link in bio) by @missio_uk

We love hearing your stories about how you support World Mission Sunday - and showing that nobody is too young or too small to be a missionary! Students at St Bede's Primary in @dioceseofhallam prayed the World Mission Sunday prayer from last Thursday and throughout World Mission Sunday weekend.

Thank you St Bede's, for getting involved with World Mission Sunday celebrations. You're helping children and families around the world and letting them know they are loved - by God and by all of us!

Mill Hill Missionary Fr Gerry Hastie concelebrated Mass at St George's Cathedral, Southwark during World Mission Sunday, and shared this message with the congregation. Fr Gerry (centre, with Father Joe Owusu-Ansah, left) spent 17 years as a missionary priest in East Africa and knows first-hand the difference your prayers and donations make to communities in need.
