 These collections help the Church serve people in need throughout the United States and around the world.
 Funds support evangelization, education, social services and humanitarian assistance.
 National Collections provide aid to communities affected by poverty, natural disasters and other crises.
 They support pastoral ministries serving military personnel, migrants, Black and Native American communities and others with unique needs.
 Our participation reflects our unity with Catholics across the nation and throughout the world.
 Every gift, regardless of size, contributes to the Church's mission of service and outreach.
 National Collections are an opportunity to put our faith into action through generosity.
 Through these collections, we become the hands and heart of Christ for those who need hope and support.
 Giving to National Collections helps strengthen the Church's ability to respond to both immediate needs and long-term ministry efforts.
 Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
 Thank parishioners for their continued generosity and support of the Church's mission.
