COAR participates in the Mission Co-operative Plan (MCP) of the Roman Catholic Church in the U.S. and Canada. MCP is an annual program in which missionaries from around the world speak in parishes, a “mission appeal”, usually in the summer months. This program increases missionary awareness among the faithful whose donations, in turn, help the missionary organizations to continue their evangelization efforts and maintain their congregations, seminaries, convents, and other projects and programs of the Church.

Assignments to individual parishes are made by the Propagation of the Faith office of each diocese (which may sometimes go by a different name such as “Mission Office”, etc.)

100% of gifts received through this program go to the COAR children. (Expenses for travel, etc., are covered by separate donations.)

If you would like to make an online donation after hearing a mission appeal at your parish, please visit our donation page.  Thank you!
