World Mission Sunday

World Mission Sunday – the one day in the year when the entire global Church comes together in support of mission – will happen on 20 October 2024.

World Mission Sunday is observed annually on the second to last Sunday of October, and this year it falls on 20 October. It is a day when Catholics around the world come together in prayer, solidarity, and support for the Church’s mission work.

The theme for this year, selected by Pope Francis, is inspired by the Gospel of Matthew: “Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet.” This theme emphasises the call to share God’s love with everyone. Join us in this global mission to spread the Gospel and invite everyone to experience the joy of Christ’s message!
