World Missions Ireland (WMI) is the registered name of The Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) in Ireland.
It comprises of four Societies as follows: The Society for the Propagation of the Faith, The Society of St. Peter Apostle, The Society of Missionary Children, and the Union of Priests and Religious.
Together these societies form the Catholic Church’s official support organisation for the spreading of the Gospel in the world, especially in countries where the Church is new, young or poor.
In Ireland, the principal function of World Missions Ireland is to promote awareness of, and raise funds for, the worldwide missionary and pastoral work of the Church.
Julieann Moran from World Missions Ireland explains why this October is an Extraordinary Mission Month and what resources are available to schools and parishes.
On Friday Oct 13th at 12 noon, iCatholic will livestream the Children Helping Children prayer service from Carlow Cathedral. All are invited to join us.
