World Mission Sunday - Weekend of 18 October 2020
This year World Mission Sunday will take place on the weekend of Sunday 18 October. World Mission Sunday is helping communities to build schools, clinics, parish halls and Churches for marginalised communities and missionaries in our church family in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It provides missionary programmes that protect and care for children’s wellbeing by offering safe shelter, healthcare, education and hope for the future and it is vital to give generously to this special collection as the pandemic has brought about even more challenges in many war-torn countries but also these crises will remain thereafter.
All return donations to World Missions Sunday Office of the Holy Father’s Universal Solidarity Fund, 64 Lwr. Rathmines Road, Dublin D06 N2H1.
