The Pontifical Mission Societies

The Pontifical Mission Societies (TPMS) are a worldwide network at the service of the Pope, supporting the missions and young churches through prayer and charity. The four societies that comprise TPMS are: the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, the Society of St. Peter the Apostle, the Missionary Childhood Association and the Missionary Union of Priests and Religious. Each of the Pontifical Mission Societies has its own specific identity and goal but are united in spirit and intent to promote a generous mission spirit among the people of God. Click here to read more about TPMS.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington supports The Pontifical Mission Societies through education, parish outreach, and annual collections, including World Mission Sunday.

Donations

Your generous donation directly supports the efforts of Catholic missionaries to provide reinforcements and resources in mission dioceses around the world.

The National Directors of The Pontifical Mission Societies from 130 countries examine and approve the projects presented annually by the Churches in mission territories to ensure funds are allocated promptly, transparently, and with the primary intention of answering the call to be apostles of all nations.
