A lifesaving mission

The exhibition will “capture moments of encounter, faith, care and connection in communities around the world”. Hope will offer a glimpse into the people and experiences that have shaped Catholic Mission’s story.

It has been organised to mark the centenary of World Mission Sunday and will showcase photographs of people in various locations including Africa and Asia.

“Hope is often found in the simplest moments, a gesture, in an encounter, in the care we show one another, perhaps in faith lived quietly through prayer and action and in people and communities working together for a better future,” said Peter Gates, Catholic Mission National Director.

“This exhibition is an opportunity to recognise those moments and to celebrate the extraordinary missionary spirit that continues to connect our Church communities in Australia with the local Church communities around the world.”

World Mission Sunday was established by Pope Pius XI in 1926 to unite the world in support of the Church’s missionary work. This year’s theme is One in Christ, united in mission. Catholics are invited to recognise their shared responsibility for mission and their connection with communities globally.

The photographic exhibition will be hosted by Australian Catholic University (ACU) in Sydney but can also be watched online. Hope can be viewed at: www.catholicmission.org.au/exhibition
