Bo Catholic Diocese marks 100 years of World Mission Sunday, inducts 14 youths

The Catholic Diocese of Bo in Sierra Leone celebrated the centenary of World Mission Sunday with a Thanksgiving Mass at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral in Bo. During the liturgy, Bishop Charles A.M. Campbell called on the faithful to spread the Gospel through prayer, service, and daily conduct.

Bishop Campbell noted that Pope Pius XI established World Mission Sunday 100 years ago. He urged worshippers to support missionary work through both prayer and financial contributions. The bishop stated that effective evangelization requires Christians to practice love, unity, and reconciliation, noting that believers cannot witness to Christ without demonstrating these values.

The celebration included religious sisters, parents, children, and animators from the Holy Childhood Association, as well as guests from the Bo Deanery. The event followed the theme, "One in Christ, United in Mission."
