Pope Francis announced the new World Day of the Poor will be celebrated on November 19 this year. It will be marked each year on the 33rd Sunday of Ordinary time. The theme is that of the words of the Apostle John “…let us not love in word or speech, but in deed and in truth.”

We hope you will join the Maryknoll Sisters and celebrate this new World Day of the Poor. Your gift will provide the love to the poor people, loving them as Jesus loved.
