Our primary task in the Pontifical Mission Societies in the U.S. office is to articulate the dramatic urgency of the Great Commission as well as the creative responsibility each of us as Christians has to do our part to be informed of the missionary efforts of our Church and give of our time, talents, and financial resources to perpetuate the success of Catholic missions.

By bringing missionaries from around the world to speak to our parishioners and diocesan administration, we are able to hear first-hand of the work being done for Christ among the suffering in war-torn countries as well as in places that do not have the benefit of a dynamic local Christian presence. By promoting mission awareness through the ongoing efforts of the Propagation of the Faith, the Society of St. Peter the Apostle, Holy Childhood Association (HCA), and the Missionary Union, we join our efforts with those missionaries worldwide in bringing hope and healing in Christ's name to all people.

Although rooted in Brooklyn and Queens, our work brings the heart of Catholic global missions into the daily life of our Diocese. Taking the world into our local hearts, our prayers and resources fuel the work of God's spirit both among our own and throughout the world.
