World Mission Sunday 20 October 2019

On Mission Sunday, in a special way, we celebrate

the work of circa 1,300 Irish born missionaries and

all missionaries throughout the world. We thank

God for them, for all who support them in our own

country and during mission month we unite

ourselves in prayer with them and with the

communities with whom they work.

A special collection will be taken up at all the

Masses. It will replace the Share Collection
