The Pontifical Mission Societies in the Diocese of Ogdensburg

Missionary Childhood Association (MCA) is a society under the Pontifical Mission Societies that was formed in 1843 by Bishop Forbin-Janson after talking with Blessed Pauline Jaricot. His goal was to work with the poorest of the world’s children in the Missions. Today, MCA continues to follow his vision – “children helping children” – as children pray and sacrifice for their brothers and sisters in need around the world. Each year MCA provides health care, advocacy, and outreach to over 2 million children worldwide.

Please join the children of the Diocese of Ogdensburg, both those in Catholic Schools and Religious Education Programs as they raise money for those children in other parts of the world that are less fortunate. Some activities hosted by students to raise money in the past include penny wars, color runs, bake sales, car washes, and bottle drives. We thank you for our donations and prayers as we work to help those less fortunate. Every little bit helps!
