Sporting Colours Day 2021 - Friday Oct 29
Catholic Mission operates through the international structure of the Catholic Church and is part of the international Catholic network known as the Pontifical Mission Societies. Catholic Mission respects the principle of “local initiative” and “self-determination” as all project funding requests originate from an existing community or work, often from a parish community or a religious congregation.
Pope Francis has highlighted his passion for the Pontifical Mission Societies, known in Australia as Catholic Mission, recognising mission is at the heart and identity of the Church, and the worldwide network reflects the rich variety of “people with a thousand faces”.
‘You are Mission’ is a message for all of us. As Pope Francis writes in his World Mission Day message, ’Every man and woman is a mission; that is the reason for our life on this earth’.
Our Casual Day supports this work all around the globe, including Australia. The Damascus College Justice Action Group has been working hard to promote this day.
Bringing a significant donation shows your support of those most in need. Wearing sporting colours shows that you are aware of the many privileges that we enjoy, even in a pandemic.
