Propagation of the Faith

The Diocese of Salina participates in the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, the Society of St. Peter the Apostle, and the Holy Childhood Association.  These organizations are for spreading a deepening awareness of the universal mission of the Church and to inform Catholics of the life and needs of the Catholic Church in the Missions.  It is a means to encourage prayer and financial help for the mission churches and for the support and education of the seminarians in developing countries.

Our involvement in these efforts are through the universal World Mission Sunday Collection held on the third Sunday of October every year and in the visiting Missionary Cooperation Plan of inviting men and women to the diocese to appeal for the needs in areas where their communities do missionary work.  The appeal for the Society of St. Peter Apostle is held as part of the Missionary Cooperation Plan. Our office is also able to assist missionaries and other priests by sending the extra Mass stipends which are made available to us by parishes of our diocese.

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.

Mission Sunday is October 17th and 18th, 2009.  Suggested use of this Rosary is the week of October 12 - 16 or 19 - 23.

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 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

"When the World Mission Rosary is completed, one has embraced all continents, all people in prayer."
-- Archbishop Fulton J. Shhen
National Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, 1950 - 1961
