The Holy Father’s missionary arm is conducted through The Pontifical Mission Societies (formerly the Society of the Propagation of the Faith). There are two ways our diocese supports the work of The Pontifical Mission Societies (TPMS). The first is the Annual Mission Appeal cooperative. Last year our parishes collectively raised $409,000 which was distributed to Catholic missions operating in 10 countries. This year, thanks to your support, we are on track to do the same.
The second is through the World Mission Sunday 2nd collection, scheduled in our parishes on October 20. Please make a concerted effort to contribute to this 2nd collection. Thank you!
Very Reverend Lawrence C. D’Anjou Vicar General Diocese of Oakland
