Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church – Bulletin
Oct. 19, 2014 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (World Mission Sunday)
World Mission Sunday
This Sunday, we are reminded of our mission to pray and work for the Evangelization of Nations. The national collection today is given to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith which distributes the funds to every mission bishop to assist in the day-to-day expenses of operating the diocese as well as special projects, such as building churches/chapels, healthcare clinics, and training and support catechists. It is the responsibility of all believers to spread the Gospel and share in the mission of the Church.
Year of Hope
“When God reveals Himself and calls him, man cannot fully respond to the divine love by his own powers. He must hope that God will give him the capacity to love Him in return and to act in conformity with the commandments of charity. Hope is the confident expectation of divine blessing and the beatific vision of God.”
~ Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church (#2090)
