Holy Week Family Missions 2024

Published by Cheryl Szmuksta on

“Holy Week Missions 2024: Given”


Our 2024 theme evokes the mysterious back and forth between us and God. Christ gives himself to us in his incarnation, in his passion and cross, and through the ages in the Eucharist. We give back to him. We give back to him through others. We give him to others. And we give ourselves to others on his behalf.

Missionaries accompany Jesus through the sorrows and joys of Holy Week. We support our parishes, inviting others to celebrate with us. We go out to serve those in need, sharing God’s love. And we do it all because he gives us his love and sends us forth.
