FMS MISSIONARY APPEAL

FRANCISCAN MISSIONARY SERVICES
WHEN: JULY 15-16

On July 15-16, St. Catharine Parish will learn about the ministries of Franciscan Mission Service (FMS). As a Catholic, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, FMS relies on the prayers and financial support of United States parishes to serve communities in South America, the Caribbean, and here in the US.

In anticipation of this message, Franciscan Mission Service invites parishioners to reflect on Pope Francis’ words from Evangelii Gaudium: “Every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization; indeed, anyone who has truly experienced God’s saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love.”

How might you be called to engage in the ministry of evangelization? Some give by going on mission, and some go by giving—with both prayers and donations.
