Proud to be the Pope’s charity for world mission
Missio ignites God’s love by helping local missionaries to work alongside global communities that are poor or in need, regardless of their background or belief.
Sometimes this need might be very specific: a motorbike for a Priest to celebrate Mass in remote villages; a simple community hall so people can gather together; vaccinations to protect vulnerable children. Whatever our missionaries need to help them share the joy of the Gospel, Missio strives to provide it.
By supporting Missio, you play a vital part in creating a vibrant Catholic Church
for the future.
By volunteering, raising or donating funds, and by praying, YOU make mission possible.
Together we are enriching today’s global Catholic community.
Together we are training tomorrow’s generation of Priests and Sisters.
Together we are giving hope to the world’s poorest children.
Together we are Missio.

- The Society of St Peter the Apostle (SPA) trains future priests, sisters and catechists
- Holy Childhood (Mission Together) supports disadvantaged and vulnerable children in mission dioceses by providing food, shelter, healthcare, education and spiritual formation
