Molnar This past week I was over in Kingston, Jamaica for a conference on the Pontifical Mission Societies for the Antilles Conference of Bishops. Directors of the Mission Societies meet every year to dis- Associate Priest cuss the importance of the Missions in our world and in the Caribbean Islands. The Papal Nuncio Rev. Alexander Crasta was there, Archbishop Thomas Gullickson, along with Archbishop Burke from Kingston, and Bishop DuFour from Montego Bay and Bishop Vincent Darius from Grenada. It was quite im- Deacon pressive having so many bishops at this conference. There are 20 regions in the Antilles Confer- Rev. Mr. Joseph Biggs ence of Bishops. Our region, the Cayman Islands is the only one that does not receive monies from the Pontifical Mission Society since we are financially backed by the Archdiocese of Detroit. This Music Directors is a good thing that we are not considered mission territory although we are a mission standing St Ignatius: alone. But all the other regions are mission territories. What is nice is that all the monies we collect for the mission all stays here in the Caribbean Islands. Last year we collected almost Mr. Simon Donoghue $20,000 in all the collections that went to missions, the Holy Land, Peter’s Pence, and the collection Christ the Redeemer: we sent for New Orleans after their hurricane. As a region we received many compliments on Mr. Albert Chin what we were able to collect since we are the smallest of all the regions. The Pontifical Mission Societies is composed of four societies. Religious Education The Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith Director The Pontifical Society of the Holy Childhood Mr. O’Neil Miller The Pontifical Society of St. Peter the Apostle The Pontifical Missionary Union Church Secretary The Propagation of the Faith is supported by World Mission Sunday at the end of October. It’s May U. Ursua aims are to maintain in the Church the Spirit of Pentecost which opened the apostles to the far ends of the earth and made them missionaries; it is the Catholic or universal spirit that belongs to the Youth Minister very nature of the Church. Also to live the universal message of redemption in union with Christ in his Church as the foundation of a common apostolic responsibility. And to participate in the Mr. Jeremy Rice proclamation of the Gospel with the example of one’s own life and with the contributions of one’s own professional and productive human potentialities, also presented in monetary offerings. Some Year 7-13 Principal give to the missions by going to the missions. Some go to the missions by giving to the missions. Mr. Peter Embleton Both must happen for it to work well.

We hope to make this Society a part of the work of our children in our school that they might be able to Year KG-6 Principal support other children in the Caribbean Islands.

We as a parish have not been very involved in this aspect of the Society and I hope we can Fax: 945-6230 begin to see the importance in helping in some way to foster the vocations in the Caribbean Islands. The Pontifical Missionary Union is the promotion of missionary work and the spread of the St. Ignatius School missions, not through aid, but through prayer. I would hope that we could all be a part of the mis- Administrative Staff sionary union by praying for the missions every day. I encourage all those who take time to pray Mrs. Deborah Huggins in the Eucharistic Chapel would say some prayers for the missions during the month of October.
