Each Ash Wednesday every parish in our diocese is asked to take up a special collection for world and home missions. The Catholic Church in the U.S. has a strong history of supporting worthy causes in our own parish communities and beyond. This combined collection will benefit areas in the church that are greatest in need, including Black and Indian Missions in the U.S. Additionally, there are many places beyond our borders where the church is poor, communities are scattered, and priests are few. This special appeal helps Catholic communities in Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe, by underwriting evangelization, religious education, education for future priests, and training for lay ministers. Thank you for your support.
