World Mission Month Launch

Thank you to the Magdalene Catholic College, Narellan community for so warmly hosting the Wollongong Diocesan launch of the 2025 Catholic Mission’s World Mission Month on Thursday 11 September 2025. A special word of thanks to Fr Feleki for representing Bishop Brian and for presiding so joyfully over the liturgy.

Despite the threatening weather, the gathering was a joyful and prayerful celebration of students, teachers, clergy, and community members, marking the official launch of this year’s campaign. The 2025 theme, Missionaries of Hope, is being celebrated in conjunction with the Jubilee Year of Hope.

This year’s Catholic Mission initiative seeks to raise funds for communities in Zambia with both practical assistance and the message of Christian hope. By working alongside local Church leaders, Catholic Mission helps provide nourishment and a sense of dignity for families, especially children, who are most affected by hunger.
