The Extraordinary Missionary Month – October 2019
Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for World Missionary Day
On World Mission Sunday, October 22, 2017, Pope Francis publicly announced to the whole Church declaring an Extraordinary Missionary Month for October 2019 (EMM OCT 2019) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Pope Benedict XV’s Apostolic Letter Maximum Illud – That Momentous. Pope Francis has set October 2019 as an Extraordinary Missionary Month (EMM) to foster greater awareness of “missio ad gentes” (mission to all peoples) and to animate the missionary transformation of Church life and pastoral activity. World Mission Sunday (WMS) will be celebrated in this EMM on October 20.
