CATHOLIC HOME MISSION APPEAL - APRIL 26-27

Next week we will take up the Catholic Home Mission Appeal. Today, nearly 40% of dioceses in the United States and its current and former territories are unable to fund the essential pastoral work their communities need. Your support for this appeal helps them meet these faith formation and sacramental needs. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this appeal. Find more information by clicking file below or at www.usccb.org/home-missions. Collection envelopes are located in your envelope packets.
