Missionary Childhood Association
A Pontifical Mission Society
Diocese of Palm Beach Catholic Schools are encouraged to partner with Mission Childhood Association (MCA) to aid in bringing our children closer to Christ and giving them practical ways to engage in the Catholic mission. The mission for this Pontifical Mission Society is “children helping children” – as children pray and sacrifice for their brothers and sisters in need around the world.
