THE WORLD THIS WEEK
On 18th October, Pope Leo XIV is encouraging our entire Church family to celebrate 100 years of World Mission Sunday!
We are urged to unite in prayer and giving with our sisters and brothers around the globe. Our participation on World Mission Sunday is a tangible way to demonstrate to families in great need that they are not alone. It reminds them that they are part of a worldwide family and that we will do our best to care for them, so that they too can experience the love and compassion of a merciful God.
The Holy Father has shared this special message for World Mission Sunday 2026, in which he invites all of us to get involved, through Missio, his official charity for world mission. The Holy Father has chosen the theme ‘One in Christ, united in mission’ and in his message for World Mission Sunday, he says:
‘Our mission as disciples, and the mission of the whole Church, is to continue the mission of Christ in the Holy Spirit: a mission born of love, lived in love and leading to love.’
Being ‘one in Christ’ calls us to keep Our Lord at the centre of our lives and communities, and our mission is lived by witnessing to God’s love through our words and deeds.
