Church in Latin America

The campaign highlights the faith of Latin America and the many opportunities we have to share faith with them. We also recognize the tremendous benefit of having our Latin American brothers and sisters in the Church and the revitalization their fervor brings to the faith. In addition to offering our help and support to the Catholics of Latin America, we have much to learn from them.

3-Year Cycle
Mission Cooperation Plan

MCP is an annual program that gives mission causes an opportunity to educate about God’s work among the poor and to raise funds for the building up of the Church in mission territories, typically during weekend liturgies. The MCP assists mission-sending societies in their appeals for funds and vocations and helps connect parishes to an individual mission cause. The MCP transfers the burden of choosing from the many requests, often providing weekend help, and enabling parishioners to hear of missionary and young church experience - an opportunity that continues to help promote solidarity with the universal Church.
