This weekend our Diocese will take up the Peter’s Pence Collection, which provides the Holy Father with the funds he needs to carry out his charitable works around the world. The proceeds benefit the most disadvantaged: victims of war, oppression, and disaster. Join our Holy Father, Pope Francis, as a witness of charity to those who are suffering. Please be as generous in this weekends’ collection.
Middle East Crisis Special Collection
NEXT WEEKEND
Next weekend the parishioners of our Diocese are asked to express their solidarity with Christians and other minorities in the Middle East in the face of ongoing violence and persecution. There will be a second collection with the proceeds going to Catholic Relief Services for the support of immediate humanitarian and pastoral needs, as well as the cost of long-term church reconstruction. Our Christian brothers and sisters and other innocent victims of the violence in the Middle East urgently need assistance. Thank you.
As always thank you brothers and sisters for your generosity and support to these special collections! You always respond so generously to the needs of our brothers and sisters in need. May the Lord continuously bless you and your families!
Father Carroll
