Spanish dioceses are organizing various events and initiatives to commemorate the centennial of the DOMUND (World Mission Sunday) campaign and the 2026 mission theme, ‘One in Christ, united in mission’. 

In Extremadura, missionary delegates from the dioceses of Coria-Cáceres, Mérida-Badajoz, and Plasencia held an interdiocesan meeting for reflection and animation. During the event, Bishop Eusebius Jelous Nyathi of the Diocese of Gokwe, Zimbabwe, spoke on the universal nature of missionary work, describing the announcement of the Gospel as a “shared responsibility of the entire Church”.

In the dioceses of Ávila and Salamanca, celebrations include interactive exhibitions, meetings with returning missionaries, and religious services. Ávila is launching an exhibition titled “Desde Ávila para el mundo, 100 años de misión” to honor local missionaries, while Salamanca has scheduled a series of events throughout October, including a diocesan celebration led by Bishop José Luis Retana.
