ECCLESIASTICAL CIRCUMSCRIPTIONS DEPENDENT ON THE CONGREGATION FOR THE EVANGELIZATION OF PEOPLES Vatican City (Agenzia Fides) The Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples is at the service of the Holy Father the Pope as the central body for promoting, directing and co-ordinating the activity of evangelisation of peoples and missionary cooperation throughout the world (cfr, Ad gentes, 29; Pastor bonus, 85), The Church down through the centuries, in obedience to the command received from Christ, has always proclaimed the Gospel to all peoples. In order to fulfil her missionary duty, in the face of growing demand for evangelisation in the 6 th century, the Church set up special structures. In 622 Pope Gregory XV instituted the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide, with the task of preaching and proclaiming the Gospel and Catholic doctrine in all missions, giving the Congregation decision making powers to guarantee rapidity and effectiveness. In 627 Pope Urban VIII founded the Urban College of Propaganda Fide for the formation of secular clergy for the mission and the Tipografia Poliglotta (Printing Press) to print documents and books in many different languages. With the apostolic Constitution Pastor bonus, Pope John Paul II confirmed the general principle of jurisdiction laid down by the Second Vatican Council (cfr. Ad gentes, 29), which states: The Congregation has the task of directing and co-ordinating activity for the evangelisation of peoples and for missionary cooperation (85). The main duties of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples include: ensure fair distribution of missionaries; formation for local secular clergy and catechists; involve Religious Institutes, Mission Societies, and local Churches in the task of evangelising mission territories.

PONTIFICIAL MISSION SOCIETIES Founded in the Churches of ancient Christian tradition to support the work of missionaries among non-christian peoples, the Pontifical Mission Societies (PPOOMM) have become an institution of the universal Church and of every particular Church. According to the Vatican Council, they must be given a central place in missionary cooperation. The PPOMMM are a single institution that includes four distinct branches. In common they have the main purpose of promoting the missionary and universal spirit within the People of God by disseminating information on missions, promotion of missionary vocations, collecting and distributing subsidies to missionaries, their works, and young Churches, encouraging communion with other Churches for the exchange of goods, aid, and staff. Among the characteristics that distinguish the PPOOMM from other organizations of missionary cooperation, is first and foremost their universality as they are the Pope's Societies and depend on the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. At the same time, they are also the Bishops' Societies, expressing their universality in missionary animation and formation addressed to all Churches and to all members of the People of God, in the aid offered equally to all Churches in mission territories. Their primary purpose is evangelization, fundamental duty of the Church, without neglecting the concrete participation to integral human promotion. The PPOOMM are organized at a supranational level (the Supreme Committee presided by the Prefect Cardinal; a Superior Council presided by the Archbishop President; a Secretary General for each Society), national (National Director appointed by the Prefect Cardinal assisted by a National Council) and diocesan (Diocesan Director appointed by the Bishop). The Four Pontifical Mission Societies are: Propagation of the Faith (PSPF) Founded in Lyon in 822 by Pauline Jaricot, has the task of promoting missionary cooperation in all Christian communities. For this purpose, together with the collection of aids, it takes cares of missionary vocations, education to missionary spirit, especially in the missionary month of October, and organizes World Mission Day. St. Peter the Apostle (POSPA) Founded in Caen by Ladies Bigard in 889, this Society is dedicated to supporting the formation of the local clergy in Mission Churches, as well as collaborating to the preparation ofcandidates to priesthood and religious life candidates to priesthood and religious life candidates to priesthood and religious life. Holy Childhood or Missionary Childhood (MCA) Founded in 843 by Msgr. De Forbin Janson, Bishop of Nancy, to educate children to the missionary spirit, focusing on the needs of their peers in mission countries, with the offer of prayers and material aid. Pontifical Mission Union (PMU) Founded in Italy in 96 by Blessed Father Paolo Manna. The PMU wants to promote missionary awareness among seminarians, priests and animate all the animators of the People of God for the mission, spreading and promoting the other three PMS.
