The APF, founded in 1822, is the Association for the Propagation of the Faith and one of the four Pontifical Mission Aid Societies.
The APF in England and Wales works with the Mill Hill Missionary Society – the only major missionary society formed in England. Mill Hill missionaries go to the most remote places in the world to show the love of Christ to those in need, both spiritually and materially.
In England and Wales, we collect funds for overseas mission through the famous Red Boxes. There are Red Boxes in over 200,000 homes. They have helped raise millions of pounds for the missionary Church.
Each parish has a local secretary, a parish volunteer who organises the quarterly collection of the Red Mission Boxes. If you would like a Red Mission Box to collect money for the missions or if you would like to volunteer to help, please contact James William on kentonapf@rcdow.org.uk For more information on the work of APF follow this link www.missio.org.uk Thank you.
