Education in Faith 

World Mission Sunday was celebrated on the 22nd of October. It is a global celebration across the world.  As a Catholic faith community, we recognize and acknowledge this special day.  This is a time of prayer and global solidarity celebrated in all Catholic parishes around the world.  Pope Francis has taken many steps to encourage all members of Catholic communities to recognize themselves as missionary disciples, working and praying together to share God’s love with everyone, everywhere.  The theme for this year's World Mission Day is: “Hearts on Fire, Feet on the Move, “inspired by the story of Jesus appearing to His disciples on the road to Emmaus.
