Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The Church in Navarre will celebrate Domund Day on Sunday, October 18, marking the centenary of the international mission day. Established on April 14, 1926, the day encourages the Church to pray for missionaries and provide financial support.

Bishop Florencio Roselló Avellanas of Pamplona and Tudela expressed gratitude for the men and women who leave their families and homes to serve people facing poverty, disease, violence, or exclusion. Mission delegate Óscar Azcona stated that the Church in mission territories relies on Domund to survive.

Currently, 392 missionaries from Navarre serve in 50 countries across Africa, America, Europe, and Asia. This group includes two cardinals, one archbishop emeritus, four bishops emeritus, three active bishops, 184 consecrated persons, 23 diocesan priests, 139 religious priests, and 35 laypeople.
