Last October 23, 2022 the worldwide Catholic community celebrated World Mission Sunday where Pope Francis invited all of the faithful to support mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, Latin America and parts of Europe. In these mission dioceses, priests, religious, and lay leaders serve the world’s most vulnerable communities. The Diocese of Chalan Kanoa is one of these mission dioceses.
In solidarity, we conducted a special second collection in all Masses celebrated on that day across all our thirteen parishes. All collections are remitted to the Pontifical Mission Societies. The breakdown of contribution per parish is as follows:
| Kristo Rai Parish | $ 2,414.40 |
| Mt. Carmel Cathedral | $ 1,757.61 |
| San Antonio Parish | $ 631.73 |
| San Jude Parish | $ 437.30 |
| Santa Soledad Parish | $ 418.25 |
| San Jose (Saipan) Parish | $ 378.63 |
| San Jose (Tinian) Parish | $ 344.25 |
| San Vicente Parish | $ 310.65 |
| Santa Remedios Parish | $ 228.17 |
| San Isidro Parish | $ 200.00 |
| San Francisco de Borja Parish | $ 172.00 |
| San Roque Parish | $ 150.25 |
| Korean Catholic Church | $ 138.00 |
| TOTAL | $ 7,581.24 |
Our contributions will join those from our brothers and sisters worldwide to help support the programs and activities in the mission dioceses around the world. Thank you for your kind hearts and generosity.
