World Mission Sunday is an opportunity to help missions throughout the world by contributing generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. It is also a worldwide Eucharistic celebration for the Missions and missionaries, within the Extraordinary Missionary Month of October, as called for by Pope Francis.
As Archbishop Cordileone has written, “Pope Francis invites all baptized Christians to a
personal encounter with Jesus Christ through prayer, meditation on the Word of God, and pilgrimage.... I invite all of us in this Archdiocese to take this opportunity to revitalize our ardor, passion, and zeal for the faith with loving, missionary hearts.”
In addition to the weekend collection in parishes, donations can be made to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith at this address:
Society for the Propagation of the Faith, Archdiocese of San Francisco, One Peter Yorke Way, San Francisco CA 94109
