La Iglesia de Santa Cruz profundiza en los 100 años del DOMUND y renueva su compromiso con la misión evangelizadora

The Archdiocese of Santa Cruz held a discussion titled “DOMUND: 100 years of Mission” to mark the centenary of World Mission Sunday. Organized by the Commission for Missions and the Obras Misionales Pontificias (OMP), the event served as a training session to review the history of the global mission day from its establishment in 1926 to the present.

Father Luis López, director of the Obras Misionales Pontificias for the Archdiocese of Santa Cruz, led the presentation. He detailed how a decree was officially approved on April 14, 1926, to create a common fund and a global day of prayer to support missionary work. That same year, the penultimate Sunday of October was designated as the date for World Mission Sunday.

The session examined how the day has evolved to support the spiritual and material needs of the Church in mission territories. The discussion highlighted the role of the day as a way for the Church to express solidarity and shared responsibility for evangelization.
