Seeing, Hearing, Loving Church celebrates World Mission Sunday — Pages 9-12
Marta Pereira speaks to a religious sister following a boat outing near Kottayam, India, in February 2019. The director of the Office for Spirituality in campus ministry at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Pereira led a group of eight people from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to the Diocese of Vijayapuram in the Indian state of Kerala in 2019. To commemorate this year’s World Mission Sunday Oct. 23, Pereira and three other local Catholics share their experience of being “witnesses” — and being witnessed to — during mission trip experiences in India, Kenya, Alaska and Jamaica on pages 10-11.
