“The missions need you. Our Canadian missionaries can’t cover every place,” Catholic Missions In Canada’s “ambassador-designate,” Missionary Bishop Gary Gordon of the Diocese of Whitehorse, Yukon, told parishioners at St. Patrick’s Church in the Diocese of Victoria, British Columbia, recently.“We are looking for people who have been touched by the Holy Spirit. They may not even know it yet, but I think there are people out there who would like to get out and be in the lives of the people, to put their lives on hold for Jesus and be there for the missions.”

Teaching Modules

cmic

For a Catholic Missions In Canada Awareness Week

We are pleased to present Teaching Modules for both Elementary and Secondary Schools that teach our children about Catholic missionaries working throughout Canada. These are our unsung heroes and heroines of the faith, who give up the comforts of home and family to travel to remote and isolated areas of our country, where climate and geography can make life harsh. The joy of spreading the Good News of our Lord, Jesus Christ, however, uplifts the faithful hearts of our missionaries!
