The annual Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) Directors’ Meeting was held September 28–30 in the Diocese of Paramaribo, Suriname. These meetings are designed to equip the faithful and help plan and strengthen the missionary zeal of the Church.
Pontifical Mission Societies are the official missionary arm of the Catholic Church, promoting a universal spirit of prayer, solidarity, and support for mission territories around the world.
Rooted in Christ’s command to “go and make disciples of all nations,” PMS inspires and engages the faithful to live out their missionary vocation through prayer, formation, outreach, and concrete support for evangelisation.
October is Mission Month, and Catholic faithful are invited to pray for the missions and to support the work of PMS, especially through its annual Mission Sunday collection which is on the third Sunday in October.
