 October is Mission Awareness Month, a time to be aware and supportive of Catholic missionaries serving the poor throughout the world. We invite you to listen to these short audio clips of "Mission Lessons" produced by the Pontifical Mission Societies of the United States. These simple recordings may well help us to remind every listener of the Baptismal call to missionary work.

 Father,
You have given all peoples one common origin,
and your will is to gather them as one family in yourself.
Fill the hearts of all people with the fire of your love
and the desire to ensure justice for all their brothers and sisters.
By sharing the good things you give us
may we secure justice and equality for every human being,
an end to all division,
and a human society built on love and peace.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. Amen.

In February of 1951, Archbishop Fulton Sheen inaugurated a World Mission Rosary. Each decade of the rosary represents an area where the Church continues her evangelization mission:
- Green - the forests and grasslands of Africa.
- Blue - the ocean surrounding the islands of the Pacific.
- White - Europe, the seat of the Holy Father.
- Red - the fire of faith that brought missionaries to the Americas.
- Yellow - the morning light of the East, for Asia.
The Salina Diocesan Propagation of the Faith Office is taking orders for the World Mission Rosaries. Cost is $10.00 plus shipping and handling. A children's version is also available. A prayer guide for both versions is also included and can be found by clicking here.
Please contact Mrs. Renee Thompson at the Chancery if you would like to place an order or if you have any questions. The phone number is (785) 827-8746 or e-mail at

"When the World Mission Rosary is completed, one has embraced all continents, all people in prayer."
