100 years. One Church. One mission.

For 100 years, Catholics around the world have come together on World Mission Sunday to pray for missionaries and support the young and growing Churches they serve. This year, Pope Leo XIV is inviting us to carry that legacy forward.

In a new video for the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday, the Holy Father reflects on his own connection to this extraordinary day—from celebrating during his youth in the United States to experiencing the prayers and generosity of Catholics around the world during his missionary ministry in Peru.

And what a difference a century has made.

In 1925, mission territories included 296 jurisdictions and about 9.6 million Catholics. Today there are 1,131 mission territories serving more than 346 million Catholics. These areas are also home to 124,309 Catholic schools and 26,318 social institutions. Behind those numbers are generations of Catholics who prayed, sacrificed and gave—often for brothers and sisters they would never meet.

Now it is your turn.

Watch Pope Leo XIV’s message and join Catholics everywhere on October 18 as we celebrate 100 years of World Mission Sunday.

One in Christ, united in mission.

SCAM ALERT! It seems that the scammers are targeting Our Catholic Community again. Please be aware that some parishioners have received a message pretending to be Fr. Andrew. We urge you to always err on the side caution and call our office if you receive a text or email addressed from Fr. Andrew that seems suspicious. We will never ask you for money or for gift cards through texts or emails. Please call the parish office if you have any questions about a message you have received.

We welcome Fr. Andrew Ayers to Our Catholic Community of St. Charles and St. Joseph-St. Mary! Fr. Andrew will begin his assignment with us on July 1st. With that the weekday Mass schedule will return. There are some adjustments to this schedule so please review the list of Mass times below.

This week, you will receive a letter from Bishop Walkowiak asking you to make your commitment to support the work of our diocesan programs and ministries through the Catholic Services Appeal. These are ministries that benefit us all but are difficult for any one parish to provide on its own. Your gift to the CSA enables the Catholic Church to reach out to people in our 11 counties in a variety of ways, including through seminarian and deacon formation; youth programming; support for the homebound and incarcerated; families who are struggling; the hungry, and the homeless. Through the CSA, we all work together to care for the Church by sharing the gifts God has granted us. Our parish goal is 100% participation, which means every parishioner should return their pledge card. Please join us in this important work!
