Our special collection supports the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. The people of Africa are joyous and faith-filled, but as the Church in Africa grows, the pastoral needs of the people also increase. From the formation of clergy to communications programs that bring the Gospel to remote territories to youth ministries that engage the next generation of disciples, the Church’s needs are wide-ranging. The Solidarity Fund is an opportunity for our parish to stand with the people of Africa to help them build lasting foundations of missionary discipleship.
Our special collection supports the Catholic Home Missions Appeal. Four out of ten dioceses in our country and its territories are considered home mission territories. This appeal helps our brothers and sisters here in the United States who do not have access to basic pastoral services like Mass, the sacraments, and religious education. Through your support, the Catholic Home Missions Appeal helps these mission dioceses form vibrant faith communities and strengthens the Church at home.
Direct your gift to the Church in Africa or the Home Missions by indicating Africa or Home Missions in for in Venmo, text or your online giving. If you give by check, please make the note in the memo of your check. Additional information on how to make a special collection offering is available through the button below. Thank you for your generosity to Special Collections throughout the year.
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing
