Around the Globe for Mission Month

Children from St Audoen’s National School in Dublin help to launch the Society of Missionary Children’s nationwide drive to encourage schools to become involved in the global circle of mission activities – praying, sharing and caring. Last year, through the mission globes, Irish children raised over €42,000 which went towards helping children in Lesotho, Sierra Leone and the Philippines. A national day of prayer for children organised by the Society of Missionary Children will take place in Sligo Cathedral on October 14 at 12pm, led by Bishop Kevin Doran, where hundreds of children will attend from around the country. Announcing the event, National Secretary of Missionary Children Julieann Moran said: “Children are all inclusive and love to be part of a global circle of love, prayer and care for those who need it most. We can’t wait to see as many little missionaries in Sligo Cathedral as possible.” www.wmi.ie. Photo: John McElroy
