Pontifical Missionary Societies

This is a universal body that coordinates Papal activities such as Universal collections and prayers for the success of Pope’s mission and intentions.

The diocesan PMS Director:

  • Works in collaboration with the bishop and the national PMS Director.
  • Educates all on the need to participate in the universal activities of prayer and collections.
  • Reminds the concerned persons and groups on the time to have the collections and the need to submit them in total and on time.
  • Promotes the societies: Holy childhood (PMC), Pontifical missionary union (PMU), St. Peter the Apostle (Vocation Sunday), St. Peter and Paul and Propagation of Faith (Mission Sunday).
  • Identifies the needs of the parishes in collaboration with the Local Ordinary and facilitates the application of grants from the universal collection.
