WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
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.

“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”

ST JOHN PAUL II MEDICAL CENTRE
ORURO
In Bolivia, poverty and illness weigh heavily on the most vulnerable—especially children and mothers. In Oruro, where medical centres and doctors are scarce, families face the heartbreaking reality of choosing between food and medicine.
Thanks to your generosity, Missio Scotland is helping to change that. From providing life-saving medicines for children struggling with respiratory diseases, to funding a new ultrasound machine that gives women access to essential healthcare, your support is bringing hope and healing where it is needed most.
Share in the story of Fr Iver Copa and the St John Paul II Clinic, showing how faith, compassion and your donations are transforming lives.

SANTA ANA DE CHIPAYA PARISH
CHIPAYA
In the remote villages of Chipaya and Ayparavi, where ancient traditions meet daily hardship, faith remains at the heart of community life.
Guided by the tireless work of Fr Rosendo, Missio Scotland is helping to provide hope and dignity—by equipping a parish hall with vital learning technology in Chipaya, and by supporting the construction of a much-needed hall in Ayparavi, where villagers currently have nowhere to gather, learn, or grow in faith.
Share a glimpse into their story of resilience, faith and hope.

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.
