In 1926 Pope Pius XI instituted Mission Sunday for the whole Church with the first worldwide Mission Sunday collection taking place in October 1927. The Mission Sunday collection is always taken on the next to last Sunday during the month of October. That day is celebrated in all the local Churches as the feast of catholicity and universal solidarity so Christians the world over will recognize their common responsibility with regard to the evangelization of the world.

Catholic bishops of the United States launched the collection in 1988 in response to the profound lack of retirement funding among US religious communities. Collection proceeds offer these communities supplemental support for stabilizing retirement savings and meeting day-to-day needs. Generosity to the annual appeal has helped many religious communities address their retirement deficits, yet hundreds of others continue to face a troubling gap between the needs of aging members and the funds available to support them.
