The Pope's Official Charity
for Mission countries
The Church—One Family
Missio is the Scottish branch of the Pontifical Mission Societies
We are the Pope’s official charity for overseas mission. Missio Scotland brings the hope of the Gospel where there is turmoil, poverty or uncertainty, and aid to where the Church is new, young or poor.
Missio Scotland empowers local people to form and sustain communities of faith. We also help to train and nurture future leaders so that the vital work of the Church can continue to take place.

#WeAreStillHere
Covid-19 Pandemic
All of us have seen how the whole world has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Often, though, we do not hear so much about how it is impacting people in Africa, South America, the Caribbean, south-east Asia and the Pacific Islands. In many of these places missionaries and local Catholic priests, religious sisters and parish communities are the only source of hope and help.
The video above sends out a clear message: they are still there for the people.
Please keep them in your prayers.
One country which is being very badly affected is Peru and during the Mission Month of October Missio Scotland will focus on our brothers and sisters there.
