World Mission Sunday 2026

World Mission Sunday is celebrated annually in parishes worldwide on the second-to-last Sunday in October. Your generosity to this second collection supports the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, one of four Pontifical Mission Societies. These offerings are distributed, in the name of Pope Leo XIV, to build up the Church in places where it barely exists – where it is young, growing, and often facing poverty, isolation or persecution. Your support allows the Church in more than 1,000 mission territories to witness to Christ, assist the poor, form seminarians and young people and share God's love and mercy with all who seek him. Thank you for your generous contribution!
