Brand
names become part of our everyday conversation.
In fact, most of us don’t think much about the products we buy and use
because we tend to choose the same things over and over. And some brand names become generic
references for similar products. For
example, no matter who manufactures the facial tissue we use, we most often
refer to it as “Kleenex.”
The goals of the Pontifical Missionary
Childhood Association are:
1. To help educators progressively awaken in
children a universal missionary conscience.
2. To help children develop their missionary
awareness.
3. To move children to share their faith and
material means, especially with the children of the neediest regions.
4. To promote missionary vocations, and
5. To be integrated into the overall pastoral
program of Christian education.
Cardinal
Sean has expressed his clear desire that MCA be incorporated into every
Catholic school and Religious Education program in our Archdiocese. To that end, the student representatives from
every Catholic school and parish Religious Education program are being invited
to participate in our first annual Mission Education day to be held on Tuesday,
October 30 at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
Each school and program is asked to send one adult and two students to
join with Cardinal Sean and our staff for Mass and a day of activities and fun learning
about the work of the missions. More
information will follow as the day draws closer.
-Rev. Rodney J. Copp, JCL
