"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations." (Matt. 28:19)
“The Church is now called to ‘Put out into the Deep,’ so that Christ can reach the individuals and peoples of every continent.” (Pope John Paul II, 2/4/2001)
The pilgrim Church is missionary by Her very nature, since it is from the mission of the Son and the mission of the Holy Spirit that she draws her origin, in accordance with the decree of God the Father. (Ad Gentes, 2)
The baptized Christian “must profess before men the faith they have received from God through the Church and participate in the Apostolic and Missionary activity of the People of God.”(CCC 1270)
