Mission Sunday
This Sunday marks the annual Sunday set aside for special prayer and help for the Missions. Let our prayers and thoughts be with those priests, nuns, brothers and lay people who gave their lives or at least part of them to ensure that the message of Jesus would be spread throughout the world, especially to those countries that were or are only being evangelised at this time. The Annual Collection will be taken up next month.
