World Mission Sunday will be celebrated on 24 October 2010. It is the special day each year when, through Mission, Catholics across the world reach out in global solidarity to its younger and struggling members. It is the day when Catholics across England and Wales help the Churches of Africa and Asia in their responsibility of building faith communities, as well as supporting their 16,152 health care facilities, 4,346 orphanages, 2,848 homes for the elderly and disabled, 19,020,871 Primary Schools plus 9,875,709 Secondary and High School pupils. Pope Benedict XVI, in his message for World Mission Sunday 2010, wrote: ‘The month of October, with the celebration of World Mission Sunday, offers to the entire People of God an opportunity to renew the commitment to proclaim the Gospel and to give pastoral activities greater missionary perspective.’ Pray: for all those who give and work to support mission around the world. (Jos.22:3)
