Join us for Mission Month!
October is Mission Month, culminating on World Mission Sunday: 22 October when the entire global Church comes together in support of mission and missionaries. Join us each day throughout October for a short prayerful reflection, and to inflame our hearts with the messages of Scripture, the Saints and the Holy Father.
'Jesus is himself the living Word, who alone can make our hearts burn within us, as he enlightens and transforms them.'
- Pope Francis, message for World Mission Sunday 2023

Prayer is the heart of mission. We hope these daily reflections speak to your heart and enkindle within you a passion to share God's love with those near and far. By praying together, we take an active part in God's mission of witnessing to Jesus Christ – the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

What is World Mission Sunday?
World Mission Sunday is celebrated in every Catholic community in the world. It's a moment of grace to express solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ who are living in situations of poverty, violence, and oppression. Every parish, school, and community is invited to join this special occasion. And every penny, pound and prayer you give to Missio helps missionaries everywhere continue their work.
World Mission Sunday is on 22 October 2023.
The theme this year is: ‘Hearts on fire, feet on the move'- cf. Luke 24:13-35
We are Missio
Missio is the Pope's charity for world mission. We ignite God's love by helping local missionaries to work alongside global communities that are poor or in need, regardless of their background or belief.
The Holy Father has tasked Missio with the responsibility of coordinating World Mission Sunday throughout the world.
