Mission Impossible (But all things are possible for God)
Your mission, parishioners of Prince of Peace, should you choose to accept it, is as follows:
1. Support World Mission Sunday this Sunday 10/22
This Sunday we should pray for the Church’s missionary efforts. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith, one of four Pontifical Mission Societies was founded by French laywomen Blessed Pauline Jaricot in 1822. She was inspired by letters from her brother Phileas about the missions, so she gathered small groups —mostly workers from her family’s silk mill. She asked each member of the group to offer daily prayer and a weekly sacrifice of a sou (the equivalent of a penny at that time) for the Church’s worldwide missionary work. Pauline insisted that her efforts were meant to be directed at all the missions of the Universal Church. Out of Pauline’s vision, the Society for the Propagation of the Faith was born. The very first collection of the Propagation of the Faith in 1822 supported the vast diocese of Louisiana, which then extended from the Florida Keys to Canada, as well as the missions of Kentucky and China. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith continues to revive the missionary ardor of Christian communities and individual faithful through missions around the world, now present in 1,100 dioceses across Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands, and in remote regions of Latin America. Throughout the years it is provided over $250 million in support of these missions.
