Year of Mission forthcoming, pilgrimage map
-
The Catholic Church is in this country is about to enter a new phase of Revival - the Year of Mission. The national committee is hopeful the upcoming National Eucharistic Congress and the pilgrimage will set the tone for this mission.
A glimpse of what is to come in the Year of Mission:
- Each Catholic will be encouraged to connect in Eucharistic friendship with one person whom the Holy Spirit identifies, entering into a special form of one-on-one accompaniment that will bring many people home to the Catholic Church.
- Non-Catholics will hear the story of salvation and learn about Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist for the first time.
- Every member of your parish will be invited to discern becoming a Eucharistic Missionary — spreading the Good News and being Christ to others in a way that’s unique to them and their strengths. Stay tuned for the Year of Mission Playbook, a comprehensive guide to discern and embark on Eucharistic mission.
