On March 10th, Orthodox faithful across the country are invited to recognize missions by the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States.

On Sunday, March 10th, we ask all Orthodox Christians and all Orthodox parishes across the United States to pray for missions:

God of truth and love: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, hear our prayer for those who do not know You, that they may come to a saving knowledge of the truth and that Your Name may be praised among all peoples of the world. Sustain, inspire, and enlighten Your servants who bring them the Gospel. Bring fresh vigor to wavering faith; sustain our faith when it is still fragile. Continually renew missionary zeal in ourselves and in the Church, and raise up new missionaries who will follow You to the ends of the world. Make us witnesses to Your goodness full of love, full of strength, and full of faith, for Your glory and the salvation of the entire world. Through the prayers of all the missionary saints, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.

Please also consider supporting and growing Orthodox missions ministries with a gift to the OCMC, which can be made online at https://donate.ocmc.org. If, during this Lent, you to feel the called to bear witness to your Faith, join a mission team, or inquire about serving as an Orthodox missionary, send an e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for remembering Orthodox missions and Orthodox Christian missionaries this Mission Sunday, March 10th. Thank for all you have done and will do during Lent to share the gift of Orthodox Christianity with the world. May God bless you and strengthen you during your journey toward Pascha!
