The weekend of March 30 & 31, there will be a second collection for World Concerns. Your generosity supports five special initiatives: Catholic Relief Services for victims of disaster across the world; The Church in Latin America, which brings assistance to the Church on a continent troubled by poverty, injustice and economic political turmoil; The Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa, which supports a wide range of essential and pastoral projects; The Collection to Aid the Catholic Church in Eastern Europe, which helps the Church to rebuild its parishes, schools, seminaries and teach laity through religious education; and The Collection for the Holy Father, which enables the Pope to respond to appeals for vital assistance that come directly to him.
