Pontifical Mission Society
The Pontifical Mission Society assists each and every one of the Catholic Churches mission diocese and territories to provide pastoral care and preach the Gospel effectively. The Society carries out this work during the entire year, but with greater intensity during the month of October. This month is regarded in all countries as the month of Universal Mission. The penultimate Sunday, proclaimed as World Mission Sunday is the high point of the month. A collection is taken up on this day for the propagation of the Faith.

Contributions for Mission Sunday in Ireland in 2007 amounted to 2,562, 840 Euro. The Archdiocese of Armagh contributed 145, 208 Euro of this sum. This money is used to build churches, orphanages, health clinics, pastoral centres and to support the work of many Lay catechists where there are few priests.

Welcome to the website of the Archdiocese of Armagh.

Our diocese of sixty-one parishes, from four counties, North and South of the Border, is knitted together closely to form the historic local Church of Armagh. As a diocese we seek not only to be faithful to the message of Jesus Christ himself, but also to embrace the challenges of the present and to look forward with confidence to the opportunities of the future. We strive to do this primarily by reflecting the healing love of Christ and the Truth of his Gospel through the ministry of his Church in the various parishes and pastoral agencies you will find outlined in this website.

I pray that visitors to this site may find the information it contains, the aspirations and resources it promotes, useful in helping to understand the mission of the Archdiocese of Armagh in building up the Kingdom of God in the twenty-first century.

We place it under the protection of Mary, Mother of the Church, who advised us to do whatever her son, Jesus, tells us. We invoke the help of the Patron Saints of the diocese, Patrick  and  Brigid, Malachy and Moninne  and the martyrs, Oliver Plunkett and Patrick O'Loughran,  that this website may prove to be of great help to all who strive to follow Christ faithfully.
