ctober is Mission Month … a time when Catholics around the world are called to unite as missionaries – to support the life giving presence of the Church in poor and marginalised communities.

This is our chance to show love and solidarity to our global Church family, through our prayers. And to respond to our Lord’s call to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, by donating generously to the Missions.

Not everyone can travel to far off places to bring God’s word to people living in poverty and despair. But we can all support those who do.

Thanks to Mission supporters around the world, people in remote areas of our Archdiocese have clinics, schools, hospitals and churches. There are feeding schemes to relieve those who are hungry … poverty relief and skills development projects run by the Church.

Our Mission stations are a beacon of hope and stability. And it’s your gift that helps keep God’s light of love and care burning bright in these places.

Above all, you help bring people closer to God … so that even in their darkest hour, they’ll be strengthened by their faith and sustained through the sacraments of the Church.

Please make your donation for Mission Month now. We cannot offer you anything in return except for the joy of uniting with Catholics around the world to improve the lives of those less fortunate. And we promise to include your special intentions in our monthly mass for Mission friends.

Thank you, and may God bless you.
