Journey With Us

A journey for Lent – and with the Missions. As prayer and sacrifice characterize the Season of Lent, they also mark the missionary commitment to which all the baptized are called.

The Pontifical Mission Societies provide this website to put “Lent In Focus” – helping you see the Season through a missionary lens. The pages of this website will grow as Lent continues.

Journey with us this Lent – and with the priests, religious and laity in the Missions who are spreading the Catholic Faith and caring for God's people in a world of need!
