Catholic Mission is a proud partner of Mass for You at Home, an opportunity for all to participate in weekly worship.
This year, Mass for You at Home marked its 50th anniversary. As was the case when it first went to air in 1971, Mass for You at Home is produced for people who are unable to attend their local worshipping community on Sunday because of a range of causes. Lockdown and gathering restrictions have also kept many people away from their parishes recently.
“With many people unable to attend their parish churches, support for Mass for You at Home has been a blessing,” says Catholic Mission National Director, Fr Brian Lucas.
Fr Brian has celebrated mass this year on the program and led the worship on World Mission Day.
“The designation of a special Sunday as World Mission Day each year is an opportunity for the universal Church to stand in solidarity with the mission Churches, especially those in places where the local Church is fragile because of persecution, civil conflict and poverty,” says Fr Brian.
“By sharing our faith and speaking of what we have seen and heard, our material and prayerful support makes a real difference to those not so well off as we are.”
Mass for You at Home is a production of the Catholic Diocese of Wollongong, in partnership with the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference.
