The Pontifical Mission Societies have a special responsibility in the Universal Church. They are at the service of the Holy Father. By virtue of his ministry, the Pope knows and understands more than anyone else the pressing needs of the Church around the world. The Pope reminds the faithful of their baptismal call to be Missionary and invites us to participate with him. The Societies ask for prayer, sacrifice and financial support of the Church’s works in the Mission lands around the world.
You may designate your gift[s] to one of the following Pontifical Mission Societies:
