WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

"Missionaries of Hope among all peoples"

Pope Francis

St John Paul II Dispensary 22.jpg

World Mission Sunday is a day set aside for the Catholic Church throughout the world to publicly renew its commitment to the missionary movement. It is a day when our Holy Father appeals to us all for both spiritual and financial support for overseas missionaries. 

You can read Pope Francis' message for World Mission Sunday here.

“I get calls from Bishops from Asia and Africa, and often, during the first three minutes, I hear no words, just sobbing ... They are the ones who rely on World Mission Sunday”

New Church Ngeptane

In the small village of Ngetpang in the diocese of Kumbo, the villagers took on the mammoth task of rebuilding their village church only to discover they had no funds left to bring it to completion.
 
Bishop Nkuo, bishop of Kumbo, reached out to his friend, Missio Scotland's National Director Fr Lockhart, to support the villagers in their mission and to help finish their church.

World Mission Sunday is a special opportunity to stand in love and solidarity with our brothers and sisters overseas.

Through our prayers, we are united with missionaries everywhere—sharing in their compassion and supporting their work of proclaiming the Good News. By offering a gift, we respond to Christ’s call to care for those most in need.

Every donation given at Mass on this day joins with contributions from Catholics around the world. Together, these funds provide vital support for churches, hospitals, schools, and the training of future priests and religious in places where the Church is still new, young, or poor.

Medical Centre

In the midst of the conflict in Cameroon, young people and children affected by disability face difficult challenges. The medical centre in Bui Division aims to supply these children with the help they so desperately need.

Sr Hedwig, a Franciscan Sister, asked Missio Scotland to assist her in providing practical help for these children in the form of medicines, sensory and mobility devices.
