As a part of my role as Vicar General of the Diocese, I coordinate the Mission Appeals, education of the missions, and our support of the missions within our Diocese. At the start of October, we celebrated the feast day of St Therese of Lisieux, a cloistered Carmelite nun who is one of the patron saints of the missions. All of us Catholics are to be missionary in spirit. Pope Francis has stated that we must never lose our missionary identity as a Church, that we all should go forth and invite people into our faith just as all missionaries do as they proclaim the Gospel message. Later this month, I am going to have the wonderful opportunity to attend the national Pontifical Mission Societies conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, representing our Diocese. Let us hear the call to be missionary as we commemorate World Mission Sunday. Father Lincoln.
