Under its original name of Holy Childhood,
Mission Together
has been active in Catholic schools for over a hundred
and sixty years.
Mission Together
encourages children worldwide to pray and
share, and become missionaries themselves;
supports both the spiritual and physical
wellbeing of children. It does so through prayer
and pastoral care. Through the financial contributions
of children it carries out educational, medical and
welfare projects in the poorest areas of the world;
benefits from the extensive network of
the Church. Over generations it has helped to
build the family of God and it continues to do so;
is universal in character and attends to the
needs of all without favouritism. It exemplifies
the all-embracing nature of the Catholic Church.
