About ACMA

The Archdiocesan Commission for Missionary Activity (ACMA) was set up by the Senate of Priests in Singapore to promote mission awareness and participation among the faithful and missionary outreach to others. ACMA believes that this missionary activity is to take place, not only overseas but also on home shores.

To this end, various courses on mission awareness and mission orientation are held in the Archdiocese. The Mission Awareness Programme and Mission Education Weekend are events that occur annually. ACMA organizes mission exposure trips to local and overseas mission bases.

Raising mission awareness in children is also an important objective. This is achieved through lessons incorporated into the catechism of participating parishes.

ACMA holds that all Christians are called to share their faith with others, with evangelising being a way of life. It therefore directs the New Evangelization Team (NET), which runs formation courses on discipleship and evangelization.

Introduction to Christianity, by way of leaflets, booklets on Christian living and some of the Alpha courses for non-Christians, is offered under the auspices of ACMA.

Parishes in Singapore are encouraged to become catalysts of missionary activity through Parish Mission Groups. The faithful are also invited to be more aware of mission through regular publication of supplements in the Catholic News.

The work of ACMA includes providing support to where it is needed in mission efforts overseas.
