TOGETHER |
|
Under its
original name of Holy Childhood, Mission Together
has been active in Catholic schools for over a hundred and sixty years.
|
 |
Mission Together encourages children
worldwide to pray and share, and become missionaries themselves.
It supports both the spiritual and physical wellbeing of children
through prayer and pastoral care. Through the financial contributions of
children it carries out educational, medical and welfare projects in the
poorest areas of the world.
Mission Together benefits from the
extensive network of the Church and over generations has helped to build
the family of God.
It is universal in character and attends to the needs of all without
favouritism. It exemplifies the all-embracing nature of the Catholic
Church. |
Mission Together
in England and Wales
helped 12,406 children last year.

'Two of our girls lost their mother & their little
sister during the Tsunami 2004, while both of them
managed to escape by climbing a tree and holding on to a
bush.
We are very grateful for the
concern and charity expressed towards our children by
the Mission Together

Please convey our deep gratitude to those children on
behalf of our children at Jeevanie. Please be sure of
our prayers and those of our children.
Thank you once again.'
