Catholic Mission – World Mission Sunday
This week, you’re invited to partner with the Church in Zambia to help women overcome poverty and mothers give birth safely.
The Women’s Cooperative, led by Sr Jane will provide women with the training and support required to break the cycle of scarcity, and the Chilonga Mission Hospital is determined to ensure every woman and baby receives a safe and dignified start to life.
During World Mission Sunday, we are called to be ‘Missionaries of hope among all peoples’, and we invite you to extend Christ’s love to those in need in Zambia.
You can support this work by using the appeal envelope, going online at catholicmission.org.au/mission, or scanning the QR code in our parish paper newsletter.
Your gift will also assist many other Church programs around the world.

A Year of Engagement
Lord God, I say yes to your will for me:
To live out my baptism in obedience to you.

Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
