World Missions Collection Held This Sunday

World Mission Sunday is October 14, but in the Diocese of Yakima, this annual collection will be taken up this coming Sunday.  United with the Catholics of the world at the Table of the Lord, we recommit ourselves to our vocation, through Baptism, to be missionaries.  Our prayers and Eucharistic celebration this coming Sunday are directed in a special way toward our brothers and sisters throughout the world who are waiting to hear the joyous “Good News” of Jesus.  Through our financial gifts, offered in this coming Sunday's collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, we become partners with missionaries who proclaim the Gospel and offer help and hope to the poor in mission countries.
