THIS weekend, Oct 22-23, is observed as World Mission Sunday.
The annual appeal collection will be taken up after all Masses. The collection will be taken up on leaving Mass, and donations can be made by using envelopes or cash. This year marks the 90th anniversary of World Mission Day.
The 2016 theme for the Catholic World Mission Appeal is inspired by the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, ‘Lord, make me an instrument of your peace’.
This appeal invites parishioners to reach out through their financial gifts and prayers to support the works of Mercy Works that, thanks to its partnership with Catholic Mission, is raising awareness of the issue of domestic violence in Papua New Guinea and other areas throughout the world, as well as assisting other communities with education, health, welfare, finance etc.
