Home Mission Sunday - 20 September 2026
Raising for Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth
Home Mission Sunday is the day parishes are asked to pray for the work of evangelisation and to support this vital work through a second collection.
On Home Mission Sunday, the bishops of England and Wales ask the faithful of our countries to look for ways in which we can all do our part in sharing the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus Christ. When we speak of ‘Home Mission’ we are not neglecting our sisters and brothers around the world (World Mission Sunday gives due attention to this important work), but we recognise that we are called to witness to Christ in our homes, at work, in our friendships and in every aspect of our daily life.
Being part of the family of God means we should feel ‘at home’ but this also challenges us to be missionary disciples in England and Wales so that we can make a home for all who hunger and thirst for the God who loves them and wants them to come home to him.
On behalf of the Bishops Conference, Bishop Philip has recorded a short video message for the occasion.
