World Mission Sunday Collection

World Mission Sunday is the only worldwide collection mandated by the Code of Canon Law for all dioceses throughout the world. It is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to recommit themselves to the Church’s missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. This collection gathers funds to be distributed in the pope’s name to support the pastoral and evangelization programs and needs of more than 1,150 mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and remote regions of Latin America.
