Universal Church and mission. Your prayers and

donations will help support churches, hospitals,

schools and vocations in countries where the

Church is beginning, where it is new. World

Mission Sunday is our chance to assist Catholic

Communities throughout the world become self-

sufficient and flourish. By sharing the gift of faith,

we can bring hope and love to those who need it

most.

sostenere chiese, ospedali, scuole e vocazioni nelle

zone in cui la Chiesa è nuova o ai suoi inizi. La

Giornata Missionaria Mondiale offre la possibilità

di rendere le comunità cattoliche disperse per il

mondo fiorenti e autosufficienti. Condividendo il

dono della fede, possiamo far crescere la speranza
