Nine-year-old Sophia Garcia sits on the floor of her home helping her mom, Esmeralda Guerrero, go through applications for missionaries hoping to speak in the Diocese of Davenport.
Sophia, an incoming fifth-grade student at All Saints Catholic School in Davenport, enjoys learning about where different countries are located and how these missions help Catholics and others throughout the world — especially when a mission benefits children.
The diocese participates in a Mission Cooperative Plan (MCP) to promote awareness of missions worldwide in the parishes throughout the diocese, the diocesan website states.
