Missio Dei medal Missio Dei patch The Missio medal program is designed for students in grades 11-12. The program invites young people to explore missionary discipleship and their own religious identity. Missio was jointly created by the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States and the NFCYM.

It includes prayer, journaling, engaging with other world changers, and a “Take Action” project that responds to our baptismal call to missionary discipleship.

The adult leader guide can be purchased separately. Each youth needs his/her own book.
