📿 Children's Day of Mission Prayer 🙏

9th Oct 2025

In the Catholic Church, October has long been associated with mission. The month starts with the feast of St Thérèse of Lisieux and draws to a close with World Mission Sunday – a special day of prayer and global solidarity celebrated in all Catholic parishes around the world.

To mark this special Month in the Catholic Church, children in school today participated in the Children’s Day of Mission Prayer by reciting one decade of the rosary with some of our Primary 7 children leading the school in this. 

At our special assembly today we talked about October as the month of the Mission, the Holy Rosary, how to use Rosary Beads and how we can act as Missionaries in our everyday lives.  

Each child also received a set of Rosary Beads to use as part of Children's Day of Mission Prayer.
