HOME MISSION SUNDAY
20th September 2015
This year’s theme is PROCLAIM God’s Mercy - Home
Mission Sunday is celebrated next weekend, and we
are encouraged to pray for evangelisation work in
England and Wales, remembering in our prayers
especially those whom we know are distant from the
life of faith. Commemorative prayer cards are at the
back of the churches. More information can be found
at www.catholicnews.org.uk/hms15. Please support
the retiring collection which funds the Bishop’s national
work of evangelisation and development of Proclaim
’15: Building Missionary Parishes initiative. Donations
also ensures the Catholic Faith Centre is resourced to
respond to those who have questions about the
Catholic Faith. Donations can be made on line at
www.catholicnews.org.uk/donations.
Please support the work of Home Mission through your
prayers and generosity, God bless and thank you.
