TO MARK World Mission Day on Sunday October 19, the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, is asking every single parish in the world to help support missionaries who are working and serving in the remotest corners of the earth.

AT MISSIO Scotland we often speak about the mission countries and territories that we support throughout the world and there’s perhaps no more fitting an example of what constitutes the latter than the villages of Chipaya and Ayparavi in rural Bolivia.

“WHETHER you’re in Bolivia or Scotland, seeing a child in pain is one of the worst things you can witness. We, as adults, generally know how to cope with life’s challenges, no matter how bad or hurtful, but when we see a sick child or one going through pain, that should provoke mercy in us.”

“WHAT a lot of people might not know is that I’ve climbed 180 out of 283 Munros,” Fr Dominic Quinn said. “It’s a wee badge of pride, because I love the mountains and the outdoors. I’m no Chris Bonington, but I’ve done my best!”

For World Mission Day 2025, I have chosen the motto: "Missionaries of Hope Among all Peoples."

DEAR brothers and sisters! The theme I have chosen for this year’s World Mission Day is taken from the Gospel parable of the wedding banquet
