Saint Brendan Catholic Church

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

On World Mission Sunday (celebrated in every parish in the world), we are called to be missionary disciples especially to those most in need of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Spiritual and material sharing enables all of us, rich or poor, to be evangelized and to serve.

This special collection in the Archdiocese of Seattle includes a combination of five separate pontifical and USCCB national collections. Our World Mission Sunday donations are distributed to:

– Propagation of the Faith serves over 1,000 of the poorest dioceses around the world – Asia, Africa, remote regions of Latin America, and the Pacific Islands.
– Catholic Near East Welfare Association provides pastoral and humanitarian support in the Middle East, India, and North Africa.
– Church in Latin America provides for pastoral projects that serve the poor.
– Church in Central and Eastern Europe rebuilds the Church’s outreach, social ministry and ministerial formation.
– Pastoral Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa provides for pastoral projects that serve the poor.

Your participation in the mission work of the Church is essential, especially with the worldwide celebration of World Mission Sunday. We extend the appreciation of tens of thousands of lay catechists, Religious, and clergy in mission areas of the world.

The easiest way to make your contribution is through Online Giving. Just visit our website. Or donate through the Archdiocese of Seattle Website.

El Domingo Mundial de las Misiones (celebrado en todas las parroquias del mundo), nos llama a ser discípulos misioneros, especialmente con los más necesitados de la Buena Nueva de Jesucristo. Compartir espiritual y materialmente nos permite a todos, ricos y pobres, ser evangelizados y ser servidores.

En la Arquidiócesis de Seattle esta colecta especial incluye las cinco colectas pontificias y las nacionales de la Conferencia Episcopal. Nuestros donativos del Domingo Mundial de las Misiones serán compartidos entre:

– La Propagación de la Fe, que sirve a más de 1,000 diócesis de las más pobres del mundo – en Asia, África, y regiones remotas de América Latina y de las Islas del Pacífico.
– La Asociación Católica de Asistencia para el Medio Oriente que proporciona ayuda pastoral y humanitaria al Medio Oriente, India, partes de Europa y el Norte de África.
– El Secretariado para la Iglesia en América Latina que sostiene proyectos pastorales en beneficio de los desprotegidos.
– La Iglesia en el Centro y Este de Europa que reconstruye el apostolado, el ministerio social y la formación para el ministerio.
– El Fondo de Solidaridad Pastoral para la Iglesia en África que sostiene proyectos pastorales al servicio de los desprotegidos.

Su participación en la misión de la Iglesia es esencial, especialmente en el contexto de la celebración universal del Domingo Mundial de las Misiones. A nombre de los miles de catequistas laicos, de los Religiosos, y del clero en zonas de misión en el mundo, le expresamos nuestro agradecimiento.
