As members of the body of Christ, we are called to look beyond our local parish and extend our hearts to the ends of the earth. This October, our faith community at St. Angela Merici joins Catholics worldwide in celebrating World Mission Sunday on October 18, 2026.

Guided by a call from our Holy Father, this special annual observance invites us to unite in profound prayer and provide vital financial assistance to mission territories globally. Through our collective generosity, we help form seminarians, build churches, sustain mission dioceses, train missionary catechists, and support religious sisters worldwide.
