Catholic Mission Catholic Mission is the Australian agency of the international Pontifical Mission Societies.

Catholic Mission reaches out, gives life and calls all people in the world to faith, justice and love. Compelled by the message, life and love of Jesus Christ, Catholic Mission forms Australians for mission and raise funds for mission - in Australia and around the world. This enables heroic missionaries to reach out to help children and communities in need, and provide vital training for seminarians and other young church leaders. Catholic Mission operates in countries around the world to support initiatives in dioceses, including remote Australia.

By popular demand, the chickens are back! šŸ”

One of our most-loved Life-Giving Gifts has returned for Christmas. Chickens can help a family put nutritious eggs on the table and earn a small income, so one gift keeps giving long after Christmas Day.

Who on your Christmas list would love a gift that gives life? Tell us in the comments, and browse our Life-Giving Gifts, available until Christmas, at gifts.catholicmission.org.au

Pauline Garland, Catholic Mission's archivist, cares for the letters, photographs, magazines and annual reports that tell our story. In this conversation, she shares what they reveal about how mission has changed over the years, from priest-led beginnings to a Church where mission belongs to everyone.

Along the way, she reflects on Pauline Jaricot, the move to pontifical status in 1922, and why gaps in the archive can be as telling as what survives. In her words, "Sometimes what is missing tells us more than what is still here."
