October is World Mission Month. During this month, Pope Francis asks every member of the Catholic community around the world to recognise themselves as missionary disciples. We come together, working and praying to share the joy, peace, hope and love of God with everyone, everywhere. In October we pray with Pope Francis for the Church, ever faithful and courageous in preaching the Gospel; may it be a community of solidarity, fraternity and welcome, always living in an atmosphere of synodality.
In the words of Pope Francis
“Dear brothers and sisters, let us have a good journey together.
May we be pilgrims in love with the Gospel and open to the surprises of the Holy Spirit.
Let us not miss out on the grace-filled opportunities born of encounter, listening and discernment.”
