Mission Sunday
This Sunday is Mission Sunday.
Pope Francis' theme for 2024 World mission Sunday is rooted in the Gospel of Matthew: “Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet,” reflecting the inclusive and urgent call to bring God's love to everyone. Let us join in this universal mission to spread the Gospel and invite all to experience the joy of Christ's message!
