Catholic Church missionary observances

Overview

The Catholic Church is conducting various missionary observances during October. These activities include Missionary Week, which focuses on prayer for religious and lay missionaries and support for Papal Mission Works. Historical accounts from this period highlight individual service, such as Sister Krystyna Smoter’s mission work in Madagascar.

In Brazil, the observance expands to Missionary Month, organized by the Pontifical Mission Societies and the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil. The 2026 campaign, themed ‘One in Christ, united in mission,’ includes World Mission Day and solidarity collections for vulnerable territories. Specific regional activities, such as the Missionary Rosary in Minas Gerais, focus on prayer for youth and populations facing poverty across five continents.
