World Mission Sunday

Pope Francis has set October 2019 as an Extraordinary Missionary Month to foster greater awareness of “missio ad gentes” and to animate the missionary transformation of Church life and pastoral activity. He has asked each country to highlight a great missionary who shared their life for the love of the Gospel.

In the U.S.A., we have chosen Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN, who was martyred in Brazil in 2005 because of her defense of Indigenous people and the Environment. To learn more about her exemplary missionary life, please go to www.sndohio.org/sister-dorothy/expanded-story.
