Mission Sunday HistoryWorld Mission Sunday is an annual global observance celebrated by the Catholic Church to emphasize the critical importance of missionary work in propagating the Gospel message. The purpose of this day is to instill in the hearts of Catholics the passion and commitment to participate in evangelization efforts through prayer, financial contributions, or engaging in missionary activities. It is a day marked by a spirit of solidarity, wherein Catholics worldwide support each other in their mission to spread the word of God and uplift the lives of marginalized communities. The origin of World Mission Sunday dates back to 1926 when Pope Pius XI instituted it as a day to remind the faithful of their responsibility to contribute to the Church's missionary work. In India, the observance of World Mission Sunday holds significant importance. The country is home to a large and diverse population, where millions have yet to hear the Gospel. It is an opportunity for the Indian Catholic community to come together and support the efforts of missionaries spreading the Gospel message and engaging in charitable works for the socio-economic and spiritual upliftment of the underprivileged sections of society. World Mission Sunday is observed with great enthusiasm across various parishes, dioceses, and Catholic institutions in India. The celebrations typically include special prayers, Holy Masses, and awareness programmes to educate the laity about the importance of missionary work. Various initiatives are undertaken to support missionaries, such as collection drives to raise funds, food, and other essential items to be sent to mission areas. Special prayers are organized for the success of missionary endeavours and converting souls to the Christian faith. In India, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on the next to last Sunday of October in unity with the rest of the Catholic world. Mission Sunday facts
