According to Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Prefect of the Congregation, the pandemic has awakened our missionary participation in our respective environments and this &#8220;translates into acts of missionary charity and solidarity for the poor and suffering.\u201d<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis year\u2019s World Mission Day collection, in Canada and elsewhere, will once again be compromised by the pandemic. However, Canadians have been very generous. Last year, more than<strong> $3 230 842<\/strong> were distributed through Mission foi, in order for the Gospel to continue to be proclaimed and lived in the hearts of many people around the world. In these times of global crisis, this gesture is a significant financial assistance most welcomed by many populations in mission territories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Mission foi appeals to the generosity of all Canadians to support the numerous projects underway in the world, as well as to their prayers for all missionaries serving and bringing the Good News to the peripheries.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Mission Foi The very essence of Christian identity is to bear witness to the Risen Christ and His love&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6630,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nouvelle"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
