Extraordinary World Mission Month October 2019
Pope Francis asks the whole Church to celebrate the Extraordinary World Mission month of October 2019. The theme for this Extraordinary World M
ission month is Baptized and Sent: The Church of Christ on Mission in the World.
Celebrating this will help us to rediscover the missionary dimension of our faith in Jesus Christ, a faith graciously bestowed on us in baptism. We received this gift freely and we share it freely, excluding no one. The Church on mission in the world enables us to see all with God’s own eyes and heart and to bring love, mercy, hope and sacraments to the ends of the earth.
With generous hearts on World Mission Sunday, please support the work of those who provide loving service and a special moment of encounter with the Pope’s missions throughout the world. This can be accomplished through prayer, reflection and witness. Thank you and God bless you! For more information, contact World Missions at 920.272.8192 or email [email protected]
