The "Annals of the Propagation of the Faith" is a publication that began in 1822, focusing on the missionary activities of the Catholic Church. It was established to share news and reports about the spread of Christianity, particularly in regions where the faith was less known. The publication aimed to raise awareness and support for missionary work around the world. The "Annals" provided detailed accounts of the challenges and successes faced by missionaries, highlighting their efforts in various countries. It served as a vital resource for promoting the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, which was founded to coordinate and support these missionary endeavors.
