| The Holy See has established four Pontifical Mission Aid Societies, which form one institution with four branches: |
|
| Propagation of the Faith
Holy Childhood Association
St.Peter Apostle
Missionary Union |
|
| The principle aim of the Pontifical Missionary Societies, according to their statutes is "the promotion of a universal missionary spirit in the hearts of the People of God." Their common task is to keep before us the essential truth that |
|
“THE CHURCH IS MISSIONARY BY ITS VERY NATURE.”
(Ad Gentes 2) |
|
| Under the direction of Congregation for the Evangelization of People and the Bishops, the Pontifical Mission Societies exists now in more than 120 countries. Each society seeks to promote prayer and sacrifice for the world-wide mission of Jesus. |
|
| Over 1,100 dioceses in Asia, Africa, Oceanic and Latin America, receive assistance from the general funds distributed globally on the basis of need. |
| |
Kindly Remember the Propagation of the Faith in your Will or Endowment |

| St. Paul asks in his letter to the Romans (10:14) |
| "How are they to call on Him [ the Lord ] if they have not come to believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard of HIm? And how will they hear of Him unless there is a preacher for them? And how will there be preachers if they are not sent?" You and I are part of the Church which in it's essence is "Missionary". By your assistence with prayers and financial aid you assure our poorer brothers and sisters in the Third World Countries that they will continue to have "preachers" who can tell them Good News of Christ. |
