In the Indian Ocean region, PMS plays a vital role in promoting evangelization and supporting local churches. Their efforts are centered on assisting local churches in spreading the Gospel message, thereby fostering a deeper understanding and acceptance of the Christian faith.

Additionally, the pontifical society provides both material and spiritual aid to communities in need, ensuring that those who are underserved receive the resources necessary for their well-being and spiritual growth.

The PMS also focuses on promoting vocations by encouraging and supporting individuals who feel called to pursue religious life. Through these initiatives, the Pontifical Mission Societies contribute significantly to the growth and strengthening of the Catholic Church in this diverse and culturally rich region.
