Every year during the month of October, the Catholic Church celebrates the missions. During this month, we commemorate two events that have marked the history of mission: the discovery of the Americas, which opened up a new page in the history of evangelization, and the feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the universal patroness of the missions, which is celebrated on the first of October.
