Next weekend (April 23-24), the diocese has asked us to take up a collection for the Catholic Home Missions Appeal. There are envelopes for this purpose on the display cases in the back of church or you may use a plain envelope (which may also be found on the display cases). These funds help strengthen the church at home. Your generosity will help provide much-needed training for lay ministers and other essential ministries in poor parishes across the United States. To learn more, go to www.usccb.org and search “Catholic Home Mission Appeal.”
