Mission Month of October:
Next Sunday is Mission Sunday, the annual worldwide Catholic celebration of mission in its fullest sense. Pope Francis describes mission “As a passion for Jesus and a passion for his people”. Our financial and spiritual help enables missionaries to breathe faith, hope and charity into the lives of people who need it most. Sharing the message with those in developing countries is our Christian duty. Our prayers on Mission Sunday go towards supporting missionaries and their mission projects where the Church is new, young or poor. A special collection will be taken up next Sunday in aid of our brothers and sisters currently on mission, allowing them to continue their work.

All suggestions will be very welcome before a decision is made. Please contact any member of the Parish Pastoral Council.
