When we hear the word “mission,” many of us think of faraway countries. Yet some of the Church’s mission territory is much closer to home. 

I invite you to support this year’s Home Missions second collection. Through your generosity, you help bring the sacraments, faith formation, and pastoral care to people in remote and isolated communities across British Columbia and the Yukon. You also help sustain ministries that serve those who may not fit neatly into a parish community, including seafarers and others whose circumstances can leave them spiritually isolated. 

For many Catholics, access to a parish, a priest, or regular sacramental life cannot be taken for granted. Your gift helps ensure that these communities continue to experience the presence, care, and accompaniment of the Church. 

Thank you for helping to keep the faith strong and vibrant in places where the needs are great. Together, we bring Christ’s love to mission territory here at home.
