Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon calls for everyday discipleship on World Mission Sunday

Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon called on the faithful to live out their baptismal mission in daily life during a celebration of the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday. The assembly took place at the Queen’s Park Savannah on Sunday, October 25.

The event marked a century of the Pontifical Mission Societies, which fund global missionary work through prayer and annual collections. Under the theme One in Christ, United in Mission, Archbishop Gordon urged the congregation to move past a superficial faith. He stated that believers must open every part of their hearts to God to become saints.

The Archbishop described the necessity of reconciliation with God, others, and oneself as the way to become one in Christ. He noted that trials provide opportunities to participate in the life of Christ. Father Isaac Umoru and Sister Katrina Charles also addressed the assembly.
