Here in the Archdiocese of Boston plans have long been underway for our own celebration. First, World Mission Sunday is meant to be observed in every parish. To that end, we provide Parish Leader Guides that contain suggestions for the celebration of the Liturgy, as well as excerpts from Pope Benedict’s message for the day and a letter from me encouraging participation by every Catholic in observing the day.
In addition, I want to remind you of our Archdiocesan celebration, scheduled for October 23 at the 11:30 Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Cardinal Sean is the main celebrant of the Mass and will be joined by missionary priests and bishops from all over the world. This is a truly multicultural experience, with the participation of choirs from the various ethnic communities that enrich our Archdiocese by their presence and Scripture readings rendered in various languages. Everyone is invited to join us for the Mass at the Cathedral and to receive a World Mission Rosary blessed by Cardinal Sean.
More information is available at www.propfaithboston.org on our special World Mission Sunday page. You may also want to look at http://www.missioninscripture.org/ for some reflections on the readings for that day.
