Mission Sunday

Next Sunday, 21^st October is World Mission Sunday! Pope Francis is asking you and every Catholic worldwide to come together in celebration of World Mission Sunday. On this very special day every Church, in every parish across our globe will give what they can, no matter how little, towards the World Mission Sunday collection.

If you can’t contribute on the 21st, you can donate €4 now by texting the word ‘Mission’ to 50300. (Texts cost €4. World Missions Ireland will receive a minimum of €3.60.
