Mission Office

To assist the local Catholic community to grow in awareness of the ad gentes (to the nations) missionary efforts of the Church, both universal and local, and to foster solidarity and support through prayer, sacrifice, and generosity as a natural expression of missionary discipleship. 

The Mission Office supports the Universal Church through the Pontifical Mission Societies and our Archdiocesan Mission. Read the synopsis below, and click on each page to learn more:
