WITH centenary celebrations planned this year to mark the anniversary of the establishment of World Mission Sunday,  as well as the 110th anniversary of the founding of the Pontifical Missionary Union and the 200th anniversary of the creation of the Living Rosary Association, it was perhaps fitting that 2026 began with a small but poignant celebration of  Blessed Pauline Jaricot, the foundress of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

MISSION month 2025 may have come to and end but already the theme for next year's World Mission Sunday has been released by the Vatican.
