🌍 Pontifical Mission Society – Holy Childhood

The Pontifical Mission Society of the Holy Childhood is the only association of its kind in the world based on the principle of “Children Helping Children.”

The Society invites children in parishes and local schools to participate in the mission of the Church by supporting other children through prayer and financial contributions.

The Society helps to promote the mission of the Church by:

  • Building schools
  • Providing nutritious meals for hungry children
  • Supporting the training of catechists
  • Providing financial and spiritual support to children suffering in war-torn nations
  • Giving young Catholics the opportunity to live their faith by responding to their Baptismal call to mission
  • Supporting programmes that provide children’s homes, orphanages, and hostels so that children do not live on the streets
