For World Mission Day 2026, which marks the centenary of a celebration established by Pius XI that is very dear to the Church, Pope Leo XIV encourages the whole Church to continue its missionary journey with joy and zeal in the Holy Spirit, with hearts united in Christ, reconciled communities and a willingness to cooperate with generosity and trust.
Let us allow ourselves to be guided and inspired by divine grace, “to renew in ourselves the fire of our missionary vocation” and advance together in the commitment to evangelization.
