Pope Asks Catholics to Support Missions
Pope Leo XIV urged Catholics to commit to bringing Christ Jesus to the world through prayer and donations.
When I served as a missionary priest and then bishop in Peru, I saw first-hand how the faith, the prayer and the generosity shown on World Mission Sunday can transform entire communities.
Pope Leo XIV recorded video messages in English, Spanish, and Italian, asking every Catholic parish to observe World Mission Sunday on October 19 and support the annual collection for Catholic missionary work.
- Pray for missionaries and the fruitfulness of their work on World Mission Sunday.
- Support the annual collection for Catholic missionary work.
Pope Leo XIV served as a missionary priest in Peru from 1985 to 1999 and later as bishop of Chiclayo from 2014 to 2023.
