Mission Collection
A special mission collection will be taken up at all masses this weekend Please give what you can, every gift- no matter how small makes a difference.
Today is Mission Sunday
Today we are called upon to play our role in assisting the missionary activity of the church. We are given the opportunity to share in the experience of our brothers and sisters who carry on the missionary task today as they Reach Out, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances. Our spiritual and material offerings are crucial for the continued work of missionaries throughout the world. The total raised in today’s collection will be sent in its entirety to support mission projects worldwide.
