In August, let us pray with Pope Leo XIV that those societies where coexistence seems more difficult do not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious, or ideological reasons.
‘May the witness of believers be for our world a leaven of authentic hope, a harbinger of new heavens and a new earth (cf. 2 Peter 3:13), where men and women will dwell in justice and harmony, in joyful expectation of the fulfilment of the Lord’s promises.’
Pope Francis, Jubilee 2025 letter, 25
Our Focus for August
- Please join us to pray for peace around the world this August: for the many countries currently in a state of war or conflict and for the many millions of innocent people caught in the crossfire. You can join our weekly Mission Rosary to pray each week for the needs of every continent.
- Together we are supporting missionaries around the world in igniting God’s hope and love wherever they are needed the most. Will you, your family, community or parish join us in August to raise money for the Church’s mission around the world? Click here to find our fundraising resources>>

We take some of our favourite activities and suggest ways to tailor them to suit your summer season. Read our first ‘Three Ways To…’ article here: Three ways to… take a pilgrimage>>
