Catholic social teaching more than anything else insists that we are one family; it calls us to overcome barriers of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, economic status, and nationality. We are all one in Christ Jesus (cf Gal 3:28) - beyond our differences and boundaries.

One of the main purposes of the mission office is Mission Education. The mission office continues to seek ways to educate the people of the Archdiocese through programs such as:

Holy Childhood Association: Established 158 years ago as a Pontifical Society of "children helping children." In conjunction with the Holy Childhood Association the mission office offers a mission awareness program to all of the Los Angeles Archdiocesan Catholic Elementary Schools and Religious Education Programs.

Propagation of the Faith: Established as a Pontifical Mission Society dedicated to promoting mission education in local parishes and seeks funding for more than 1050 Mission Diocese throughout the world.

Peter the Apostle: Established as a Pontifical Mission Society, the Society of Peter the Apostle helps to make possible the formation of priests and religious brothers and sisters in the missions.
