Send hope to children around the world this Christmas...

Christmas is a time of hope. During this holy season, do not forget our children living in the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions around the globe. These little ones continue to grapple with economic instability and frequently the violence of war or persecution, magnified by the ravages of a global pandemic.

You can give the gift of hope to our children in the Missions. We who live in a nation of plenty must ensure that Christmas be celebrated everywhere in the world! Through your gift to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith / Missionary Childhood Association, you can be right there, offering that hope, with the Religious Sisters, priests, and catechists of St. Anthony of Mohipara Parish in Bangladesh.

The Sisters reach out to 296 poor village children to share their Christian faith, care for their basic needs like food and clothing, teach them, and offer help when they are ill. Most importantly, the Sisters give our children the gift of hope – the hope of the Good News of Jesus’ birth. For our Master was born into the same humble and uncertain circumstances as our children. The reality of His love is alive in the work and witness of the Sisters. They care for our children and right now are working on getting them ready for Christmas.

This Christmas, will you add mission Sisters – and the children they serve – to your gift list? Just $5 a day – $25 for a week or a month’s support of $150 – provides for such work in mission schools and parishes, outreach, and health centers, in Bangladesh and throughout the Missions. You are the only one who can bring hope to these children in need. Your prayers and support accompany Sisters as they share the Good News of God’s great love revealed in His Son, Jesus. What could be a better Christmas gift?

World Mission Sunday is on October 24, 2021!

This year, Pope Francis reminds us of our baptismal call – to respond as missionaries, saying "We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard" (Acts 4:20). Today we respond to that call, through our prayers and personal sacrifices for our brothers and sisters in the Missions – in places like Uganda where people face food uncertainty and violence... in the Philippines where local clergy face martyrdom… in Oceania where people’s livelihoods are threatened by climate change… and in remote regions of Latin America where people are hearing the Gospel for the first time.

Respond this World Mission Sunday by supporting the priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay catechists who provide loving service to those most in need. Thank you!
