There will be a second collection for the Catholic Foundation that will take place during the Holy Masses on Aug. 6 & 7.
From Bishop Stephen J. Berg:
Our Catholic Foundation is The Giving Arm of the Diocese, and the upcoming second collection will support its annual grants program. Under the grants program, the Catholic Foundation has generously provided financial assistance to parishes, missions, and other Catholic organizations throughout the diocese for over 25 years.
These grants allow parishes and missions to offer additional faith formation activities and materials that might not otherwise be possible; such as, retreats, training for catechists and online catechesis, new religious education materials and technology, and the Totus Tuus program for youth.
As with last year, you can be assured that 100% of the funds received from the second collection will stay within our diocese. Please remember to be as generous as you can in supporting our Catholic Foundation.
