Dear Friends in our Mission Family,

    


Peace to you and your loved ones! World Mission Sunday will be celebrated this year on the weekend of October 19 and 20. Our diocesan celebration will take place in St. Benedict Church, Holmdel, on Oct. 20 at the 11 a.m. Mass.

Frankie Picciolo, a student from the Religious Education Program of St. Benedict’s, is one of 24 young people from throughout the country to have his artwork selected as a winner in the National Christmas Card Art Contest of the Missionary Childhood Association. It will be an honor for me to present the award to Frankie during the Mass.

As Bishop O’Connell has shared in his message to us, the “call to mission resonates deeply with our faith’s core, urging us to share God’s love with the world.”

We all participate in this momentous event on World Mission Sunday particularly our collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Through our thoughts, prayers, and financial support to the missionary work of the Church, we have contributed and are continually helping this so worthy and noble cause.

Please share and give as your means allow to the second collection on World Mission Sunday. The funds we generate are entirely devoted to evangelization efforts, including the support of seminaries, future religious sisters, catechists, Catholic schools, and healthcare centers that offer life-changing education and care to those most in need.

We have always been generous in the past years with our offerings. On behalf of our missionaries serving here and abroad, I humbly and sincerely thank you.

United with you in prayer and faith,

Rev. Peter James Alindogan Diocesan Director of Missions
