Thank You
TODAY (19TH) IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY …the Holy Father invites all Catholics to contribute to a special collection for Missio, his official
charity for overseas mission. Your prayers & donations today will support the work of missionaries & young churches as they share faith, build
churches & provide healthcare & education, often in difficult & dangerous circumstances overseas. The World Mission Sunday collection will go
in its entirety to support mission projects worldwide that bring God’s love and message of dignity for all. Please give what you can, and if
possible, please use the Gift Aid envelopes if you are a taxpayer. Every gift makes a real difference to people living in poverty who are yearning
to hear the Good News of God’s love for them. This annual collection supports the 1,069 mission dioceses overseas that are too poor to support
themselves.

retreat which takes place from Friday 31 October, 5pm, to Sunday 2 November, 2pm, at St Peter’s School, Bournemouth. Young people

workshops and discussion groups, and time for participants to meet and socialise with other young Catholics. Last year, over 100 young people
from around the diocese participated in this retreat. Bishop Philip will celebrate Mass during the weekend. To book your place, email
[email protected] or visit www.portsmouthdiocese.org.uk/youth. The suggested donation is £60 for those who are working, and £45 for those
