Proud to be the Pope’s charity for world mission
Missio is the Pope's charity for World Mission. We ignite God's love by helping local missionaries to work alongside global communities who are poor in need, regardless of their background or belief. Red Box 2021: Thank You! In 2021, St Hubert's raised £472.18 through our Red Boxes. Thank you! Our missionary community here at St Hubert's is part of a worldwide network of people supporting missionaries through prayer and financial assistance. The founder of this network, Pauline Jaricot, will be beatified on 22nd May this year. This remarkable lay woman's life was marked by intense suffering and great trust in God. Pauline's life helps us to see how every prayer, however short, and every contribution, however small, is valued by God and can transform the world for the better. Thank you for being part of Pauline's legacy. |

Crisis in Ukraine.
We are all aware of the currant situation in Ukraine. Missio is in touch with its National Directors in the bordering countries to offer our prayerful support, and we have been able to send some money to support their work with refugees. Missio will focus on the re-building of communities when the situation has abated. Please keep the people of Ukraine in your prayers.
