World Mission Sunday – The National Collection for the Evangelization of Peoples – October 18, 2026

World Mission Sunday, organized by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to reflect on their own baptism, when they received the gift of faith, and recommit themselves to the Church’s missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. This fundraising is a global effort to support the most impoverished dioceses.

The faithful of the Catholic Church throughout the world are invited to pray for missions and to contribute to the collection organized by the Pontifical Mission Societies. An envelope for this collection is usually included in your box of regular collection envelopes for the year.

Extra envelopes for parishioners who do not have regular collection envelopes will be placed at both entrances of the Church.
