To find inspirational stories of missionaries, your parish priest can visit: OneFamilyInMission News
A suggestion on how to approach your priest: Kindly request a few minutes of the priest’s time, express your gratitude for his leadership, and gently present the idea, explaining how it can encourage the parish community to actively participate in World Mission Sunday.
Here’s an example of what you might say:
“Father, I’ve been so inspired by the stories of missionaries around the world, serving communities with great love and faith. Would you consider sharing some of these stories in your homily on World Mission Sunday, October 22? It might help to connect us, as a parish, with the broader mission of the Church and encourage us to support our fellow Christians around the world.”
Your advocacy can be a powerful tool to raise awareness and engagement for World Mission Sunday within your parish community.
Thank you for your incredible dedication and may the Holy Spirit guide your conversation with your parish priest.
