October, the missionary month par excellence in the life of the Church, revolves, to a large extent, around the World Mission Sunday campaign. World Mission Sunday.
One goal, that of every year: to make possible the continuity of the more than 10,000 Spanish missionaries who carry out their pastoral work throughout the world.
The 2020 campaign is marked by the limitations of a pandemic that is ravaging the entire planet and that, in a harsher way, affects those territories already marked by hunger, wars, religious persecution, etc., those areas where missionaries leave their lives. The same objective, a different campaign, a necessary call.
The protagonists
Pontifical Mission Societies has launched its campaign, this year, under the motto "Here I am, send me.". An invitation to be part of this shared mission of the Church, despite the limitations of Covid19.
This edition is materialized in the stories of a family of the Neocatechumenal Way with five children living in Arusha (Tanzania), a medical missionary of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus living in Yaoundé, two diocesan priests, one in Japan and the other in Peru, a nun in Angola and a religious in Oceania.
Different charisms united by the work of evangelization and propagation of the faith, and which also articulate the materials proposed for catechesis and religion classes around the day.
The campaign
How is this year's DOMUND campaign developing? Through its website www.domund.esThe event, in which the testimonies of the protagonists and the initiatives to collaborate this year are made known.
In addition to the direct donation, the I Virtual Solidarity Run Domund 2020 is presented as one of the main axes of this different campaign: the "runner" chooses equipment, distance and a donation.
Once the data has been completed and the economic collaboration has been remitted, the penultimate Sunday of October, the 17th and 18th, you can do this race walking or running, also from OMP encourage runners to upload a photo with the bib on social networks with the Hashtag: #CorrePorElDomund and publicize this initiative.
