The Great Works - A video from the National Office of the Pontifical Mission Societies
The Pontifical Mission Societies have, as their primary purpose, the promotion of a universal missionary spirit--a spirit of prayer and sacrifice-- among all baptized Catholics.
The four societies each received the title "pontifical" in 1922 to indicate their status as official instruments of the Holy Father and of the Universal Roman Catholic Church.
Our One Family in Mission consists of:
- The Society for the Propagation of the Faith
- Missionary Childhood Association (formerly Holy Childhood Association)
- The Society for St. Peter Apostle
- Missionary Union of Priests and Religious
