In Matthew 28:19, Christ commissions the Apostles to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit." Today, the Church continues her mission, having spread to many of the earth's countries, and continually welcoming members into the family of God. As you can see in the map, Catholics are predominately in South America and Europe. Other countries have little or no population of Catholics. However, it is probably safe to say that wherever people are, the Church will follow.
Today, it can be especially hard to follow the Catholic Church. Within the Church herself, there are tens of thousands of schismatic beliefs branching from her, and that does not include non-Christian beliefs, of which there are many more. However, it is important that we stand by our faith in the Catholic Church, and do our best to draw people into her, as Christ's mission is not complete until the world believes in Him.
