This Year’s World Mission Sunday, Second Collection (October 19, 2025)

World Mission Sunday is Sunday, October 19, 2025.

The diocesan family of Buffalo has often been a dedicated contribution to our Holy Father’s missionary efforts.

Between 2010-2015 the Diocese of Buffalo was one of the top 10 and then also, one year, the top donor to World Missions of all the 196 Catholic Dioceses in the USA.

Many people from our diocese remember the missions in their wills and added to our World Mission Sunday efforts.

Thank you for including World Mission Sunday in your prayers and sacrificial giving. The second collection on Sunday, October 19, 2025 is dedicated to our Church’s World Missions.
