ROME – Pope Leo XIV is calling on all the faithful worldwide to support the church’s foreign missions as they offer catechesis and basic services to those in need.
In a video message published Monday, Leo looked forward to the 99th World Mission Sunday – this coming Sunday, Oct. 19 – an occasion on which “the whole Church prays, united, particularly for missionaries and the fruitfulness of their apostolic labors.”
