World Mission Sunday
Each parish around the world celebrates World Mission
Sunday on the second to last Sunday of October.
Our prayers and donations on
World
Mission
Sunday
help to support churches, hospitals, schools and
vocations in countries where the Church is new, young or
poor. It is our chance to show our love and solidarity
with our brothers and sisters who share our faith; to
support them in our shared mission of showing the love
of God for all. Thanks to Mission Sunday we can join
with the whole Church in bringing spiritual and material
help to those who need it most.
The
Association for the
Propagation
of the
Faith (APF) is responsible for coordinating World Mission
Sunday and provides new, young or poor dioceses with the
essential support they need on their journey to becoming
self-sufficient.
The APF works through local Bishops, churches and
missionary congregations to ensure that resources are
distributed equitably and justly – on the basis of need
rather than depending on particular links or ‘twinning’.
Every diocese contributes towards the fund of
Universal Solidarity
which is then shared out ‘from each according to
their resources, to each according to their need’.
The monies go directly from England and Wales to the
Bishops in the mission territories -
local church directly helping local church!
