“Go and invite everyone to the banquet.” (Mt 22:19)
Next weekend, we celebrate World Mission Sunday, a powerful reminder of our call to be missionary disciples. This year’s theme, “Go and invite everyone to the banquet,” emphasizes our common call to bring God’s love and message to the ends of the earth. On this day we reflect on and support the Church’s missionary efforts while also recommitting ourselves to the same mission. The contributions given for the World Mission Sunday collection are crucial for sustaining the Church’s work in over 1,150 territories where the Church is young or struggling. Let us prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate together.
