Catholic Mission operates in over 160 countries to support initiatives in 1100 dioceses, including remote Australia.

Internationally Catholic Mission is called the Pontifical Mission Societies or missio, and historically is known as Propagation of the Faith, Children's Mission and St Peter Apostle. *Refer "Why Mission?" by Joseph R.
