Second Collection Next Weekend – World Mission Sunday
There will be a second collection this weekend, October 17–18, for World Mission Sunday. Pope Leo XIV has chosen this year’s theme: “One in Christ, United in Mission.” Let us all commit ourselves to contributing to the great mission of evangelization, which is always a work of love, according to our own vocation and the gifts we have received. Your prayers and practical support, especially on World Mission Day, are a great help in bringing the Gospel of God’s love to everyone, particularly to the poorest and those most in need. Every gift, no matter how small, becomes a meaningful act of missionary communion. Together, united in Christ, let us share His love and help bring the light of the Gospel to people throughout the world.
