Missionary Cooperation Plan
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Pastoral Statement on World Mission To the Ends of the Earth #74 states the purpose of this Missionary appeal.
“We ask that you missionaries share with us your experience as well as the faith experience of the people you serve. Our faith is deepened and broadened as we learn from you."
The plan is to help mission-sending societies solicit funds for their mission efforts as well as give them the opportunity to appeal for vocations to their communities.
This is the reason why we give the appeals which benefit the missions of the Missionaries of Faith. We are grateful to the Dioceses in the USA that have accomodated our missionaries since 1999.
We adore you, we praise you, we glorify you and we thank you, O Holy Trinity, for the gift of religious and priestly vocation, that in faith we seek You and in the mission, we walk towards You.
God the Father, sanctify us for the glory of your name and accompany us with your paternal protection so as to be always faithful to our vocation as religious and priests Missionaries of Faith.
Son of God, Jesus the Evangelizer, help us to live a true and constant state of filial abandonment to the will of the Father, in order to announce and witness the Faith to all men.
Holy Spirit, pour out upon us grace and joy in faith and fill our hearts with your love, so as to love, praise and serve You.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. (3x)
