World Mission Sunday is a day set aside for the Catholic Church throughout the world to publicly renew its commitment to the missionary movement. It is celebrated on the penultimate (next-to-last) Sunday of October every year[1] (October 20, 2024; October 19, 2025). It was created by Pope Pius XI in 1926 as the day of prayer for missions.[2] Closely related to Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
