About
Pontifical Missionary Childhood (PMC) is a Catholic organization under the umbrella of the Pontifical Mission Societies, dedicated to nurturing a missionary spirit in children. Founded in 1843 by Bishop Charles de Forbin-Janson in France, the movement encourages children to grow in faith, compassion, and global solidarity. Its motto, “Children Helping Children,” reflects the heart of the mission — forming young Catholics who pray for, learn about, and support other children, especially in mission territories around the world.
