March special collections

Rather than passing around baskets for the monthly special collections each week, we’ll place special envelopes for your donations in the narthex. 

The March special collections are for Catholic Relief Services, and Black & Indian Missions. On Ash Wednesday, the special collection will go to the Missionaries of Charity and Sisters for Life.

The 125-year-old National Collection for Black and Indian People embodies the Church’s concern for evangelizing the Black and Indian peoples of the United States. The funds are distributed as grants to dioceses throughout the United States, supporting and strengthening evangelization programs. 

Catholic Relief Services aims to assist impoverished and disadvantaged people overseas, working in the spirit of Catholic social teaching to promote the sacredness of human life and the dignity of the human person. This official relief agency of the U.S. Catholic Church works with local agencies, responds to immediate emergency needs, and aids in long-term rebuilding and recovery efforts.
