What is Missions?

The Missions ministry supports and promotes the understanding of Catholic Social Teaching and how to live out our faith by being in community with people on the margins, whether they are in our own communities or around the world. The Missions team provides support and resources to parishes so their parishioners can engage in global solidarity.

How Missions supports parishes

Missions helps parishes to educate people about the needs of our brothers and sisters around the world, to create opportunities for global relationship building and to inspire action. Examples of opportunities for parishes:

  • Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl education and impact
  • JustFaith Formation Series
  • Mission Coop Plan speakers
  • Immersion trips
