THIS WEEK IN THE POPE'S MISSIONS - NOVEMBER 26, 2019

Being thankful...

During his missionary visit to Thailand this past week, Pope Francis spoke about each person's faith journey, noting the importance of being thankful for “those people who helped us discover and discern the fire of the Spirit.” “Standing on their shoulders, may we too feel called to be men and women who help bring about the new life the Lord bestows on us," the Pope said.

CAMEROON 'Closeness to the most needy a priority'

Children in Cameroon who have lost their caregivers due to AIDS are often rejected by society and unable to attend school. Sister Marie cares for many of these children at the Hope Center in Yaounde, giving them the love and attention they do not receive elsewhere. Through a partnership with a school of agriculture nearby, Sister Marie is raising money so that 10 Hope Center children can attend a nearby agriculture school and receive training in fish breeding and sales.  MONTH OF ALL SOULS Remember a loved one you have loved and lost with a Mass celebrated in the Missions.
