Archdiocese of Santa Cruz to open Missionary Month with Solemn Eucharist

The Archdiocese of Santa Cruz de la Sierra will open Missionary Month with a Solemn Eucharist at the Metropolitan Cathedral on Thursday, October 1, at 18:30. Archbishop René Leigue will preside over the Mass, which the Commission of Missions says is intended to remind the Christian community that mission is an essential part of Church life.

The celebration coincides with the feast of Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús, the patron of missions, and the 100 years of DOMUND. The Commission of Missions has invited missionary families, youth missionaries, and members of parish Infancia y Adolescencia Misionera groups to participate. The month of activities will continue until World Mission Sunday is celebrated on October 18.
