Home Mission Sunday
On Home Mission Sunday we pray for the work of evangelisation in our countries and reflect on our response to the Lord’s invitation to share our faith. The theme this year is “Fresh Wind In Our Sails” which is what the Holy Father is reported to have said that his visit to the UK gave him.
