Making a Difference, Lighting a Path
Father Bede is especially grateful to you -- our sustaining donors -- because you change the lives of his parishioners on the tea plantations in the mountains of Sri Lanka. In a place where Christianity is a tiny minority, Father counts on The Society for the Propagation of the Faith to help him provide supplies to say Mass in a small church for his growing flock.
Before a generous Boston donor stepped in, Charles and Matsautso -- lay catechists in Zambia -- walked many miles each weekend to teach faith formation and prepare the faithful to receive the Sacraments of the Church at rural mission chapels because no priest was available. Now they ride bicycles, praying in thanksgiving for the gift of transportation with each push of the pedal.
Around the world, missionaries depend on your sustaining help to do their lifesaving, faith-affirming work. Your gift to The Society for the Propagation of the Faith -- Pope Francis' own mission society -- is fundamental to their ministries.
This Christmas season, when you offer $50 -- less than $2 a day for all of Advent -- you provide a religious Sister with the tools she needs to serve children. Your gift of $100 in the hands of a mission priest allows more people to receive the Body of Christ. A donation of $1,000 sends a small army of lay catechists riding into rural mission villages armed with the Good News.
YOU are the gift the missions are waiting for this Christmas!
When this season is past, missionaries will still be struggling to make ends meet as they accompany the poor and marginalized of our world on a journey of faith. Please consider becoming a regular, sustaining donor to be a light to their path. Visit our website -- https://www.propfaithboston.org/monthly-donor-club -- and enroll today.
Join us as we support missionaries around the world!

Welcome to The Mission Hub
Boston was once famously called “The Hub of the Universe” by author Oliver Wendell Holmes. He wrote, "Boston Statehouse is the solar system. You couldn't pry that out of a Boston (person), if you had the entire of all creation straightened out for a crowbar." That notion quickly graduated to our city being known as “The Hub of the Universe” – a place no proper Bostonian would want to leave. Unless, that is, that person is a missionary.
Beginning in 1803, with our founding French missionaries, Boston has a long and storied history of building on what those missionaries started, founding new missionary societies, and continuing to support all the missions of the Church through the Pontifical Mission Societies.
Read our blog as the we travel on the spokes that lead from The Hub to the ends of the earth in support of the mission Church.
