The Society for the Propagation of the Faith is one of the four Pontifical Mission Societies that annually celebrates World Mission Sunday (WMS). WMS recognizes our catholicity and universal solidarity with Christians over the world, and our common responsibility with regard to the evangelization of the world. How Does Your World Mission Sunday Gift Help? $20 can assist with building a chapel in the Fiji Islands. $40 can provide support for a catechist in Peru. $100 can support a sister in Kenya serving among homeless children. $1,000 can provide a home, food, medical help and education for orphans in Thailand. $3,500 can help support two girls’ homes in Sri Lanka. These funds are then distributed in their entirety to missions throughout the world as they share the Good News of Jesus Christ.​

This collection supports pastoral projects that enrich the lives of believers throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Peter’s Pence collection is a gesture of solidarity through which every member of the faithful can participate in the activity of the Pope as Pastor of the universal Church.

For many in the Church of Central and Eastern Europe, the aftermath of 70 years of Soviet rule and atheism are still evident every day.

Your support of this collection is a tangible way of assisting the Church’s response and outreach to those affected and displaced by violence.​
