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.

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.
