World Mission Sunday and Month As we  journey through the month of October, we enter a special period of reflection and action for our Church’s  missionary efforts  worldwide. World Mission Sunday, which will be celebrated on Sunday next October 20th, is a special day that unites Catholics worldwide in prayer, solidarity, and  support for the Church’s mission efforts. This year’s theme, chosen by Pope Francis, is rooted in the Gospel of Matthew: “Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet,” reflecting the inclusive and urgent call to bring God’s love to everyone. The Mission Sunday collection next weekend will go to support this missionary work. Please give what you can . We  encourage no church gate collection next weekend please The Second Collection as  people leave Mass will support this missionary work. Please also use envelope which is now included in yearly box of envelopes.
