Missio Red Boxes can be found in over 200,000 Catholic homes in England and Wales. The pounds and pennies that are put into these boxes go to fund the vital work of the Catholic Church abroad, by bringing God's love and hope to the poorest and most in need. They are effective, raising over £2 million every year in England and Wales.
The iconic Red Boxes are a simple way for Catholics to play an active role in the missionary activity of the Church.
By taking a Red Box into your home, you automatically become a member of the APF; a worldwide community of generous givers whose faithful prayers and support over the years have helped fund 1,069 missionary dioceses.

How do I become involved...
It is easy to become a Red Box holder – you just need to contact the Parish Priest or the Local Secretary, Sue Kennedy, and we will give you your very own Red Box.
When your box is full simply bring it into the Parish Office and we will swap it for a new one.
Three times a year Mission Today, the Missio magazines are left at the back of Church for Red Box Holders to collect. Then at the end of the year a Mission Calendar is left for you. There will be a notice in the Parish Newsletter each time there is something to be collected.
The Local Secretary counts and banks the money directly into the Missio Account. A detailed track is kept of the money retrieved from the Red Boxes and the Parish Priest has to sign the Annual Return statement. Missio then distributes the money directly to the Church in the Mission Dioceses.
