Evangelii Gaudium Sunday is named after Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation on the Joy of the Gospel. The day offers the Catholic community in England and Wales the opportunity to celebrate the beauty of our faith and our commitment to witness to the fullness of life in Christ.
We pray on this Evangelii Gaudium Sunday that ‘the joy of the Gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus’, within our Church and for those yet to know the Lord. May the Holy Spirit guide each person to open their hearts to be renewed by the graces of the Lord’s work in their lives.
Resources for this year’s celebration including prayers, messages, a reflection on missionary discipleship, and more are available.
