This weekend (March 29 and 30) we will be taking up the National Second Collection in support of Catholic Relief Services.

The Catholic Relief Services Collection funds six agencies working to reveal Christ’s love to those in need overseas and here in the United States. CRS, the flagship international relief and development agency of the USCCB, the USCCB Migration and Refugee Services department for resettlement; the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc., which helps immigrants with work permits, residency, family reunifications, and citizenship; the USCCB Secretariat of Justice and Peace for advocacy of human rights and education on Catholic social teaching; and the USCCB Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church, whose ministries address the unique pastoral needs of Catholics from a range of cultures. Finally, this collection supports the Holy Father’s Relief Fund, through which the Holy Father aids people in distress worldwide. Please help support the CRS through the in-pew collection next weekend or give online today.

Please give generously through the in-pew collection or make you gift online through the OSV Online Giving Hub. Thank you!

*Due to a misprint with our envelopes, some parishioners may have already donated toward this special collection earlier this month.*
