Bishop’s Letter - World Mission Sunday
My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“Today vast numbers of people still do not know Jesus Christ.” 
Pope Francis begins his message for this year’s celebration of World Mission Sunday with these words.  But he quickly offers us the way to make a life-giving difference in this reality.  He tell us, “World Mission Sunday is a privileged moment when the faithful of various continents engage in prayerand concrete gestures of solidarityin support of the young Churches in mission lands.”
On October 19th, as our diocesan family celebrates this “privileged moment,” let us join our brothers and sisters around the world who will gather at the Lord’s Table to celebrate, with great joy, our common vocation as missionaries.  Our prayersand concrete gestures of solidaritywill help build local churches, like the church in Mongolia, the world’s youngest Catholic Church, and in sub-Saharan Africa, where Catholicism continues to grow at exponential rates.  Through the work of these churches, and their witness to Christ, the poor receive practical help.  Most importantly, they experience God’s love and mercy, His hope and peace.
Your financial help on World Mission Sunday, offered in the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, will support the 1,150 young mission dioceses and communities who await the “Good News” of Jesus as their saving hope.
Pope Francis encourages us to take joyful part in the Church’s mission to all the nations, as we live our lives grounded in love for Jesus and concern for the needs of the most disadvantaged.  May World Mission Sunday offer each one of us an opportunity to accomplish both, as we share the joy of the Gospel and help the poor by our fervent prayer and generous hearts!
Sincerely yours in Christ...Most Reverend John R. Gaydos, Diocese of Jefferson City
