CELEBRATE MISSION SUNDAY

Today is Mission Sunday and we unite on this special day with all Churches worldwide, Òtogether in missionÓ, to celebrate our faith and the spreading of God’s love to far distant missionary lands. Let us individually and as communities assist the missions by prayer and financial help so that they may continue their tremendous work Òfrom village to village proclaiming the Good NewsÓ. (Today’s Gospel) The 1,900 Irish missionaries across the globe greatly appreciate your loyalty and support to their work in the spreading of the Good News, God’s word, to all corners of the world.
