Supporting the Church’s works of social justice, evangelization, catechesis, and national and local institutional development--domestically and around the world--through the generosity of parishioners to annual national appeals.
More than 70 dioceses in the United States and its territories are considered home mission dioceses. They are often in rural areas with small Catholic populations or are in communities that struggle economically and cannot sustain their core ministries without outside assistance. That assistance comes through contributions to the annual Catholic Home Missions Appeal, taking place this year in many dioceses on April 26-27.
With support received through this special appeal, these home mission dioceses can sustain parishes in remote areas, support priestly and diaconal formation, and train catechists. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal also supports the eparchies of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the United States, helping them meet the unique pastoral and cultural needs of their members, including those who have come to the United States from lands affected by war and terrorism.
Please Strengthen the Church at Home by giving to the Catholic Home Missions Appeal at Mass. If you are unable to give in your parish but wish to make a donation online, please visit #iGiveCatholicTogether.
"Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you." Luke 6:38
Each parish is part of the Church Universal; it is the Catholic Church in a particular place. The bishops of the United States created the national collections so that, by combining resources, we can more effectively carry out our mission as Catholics. Each of these important collections is worthy of your support. Each collection represents our community of faith at work in the world, saving souls and improving lives.
The bishops encourage us to view the national collections in the light of stewardship and of sharing. God has given us our light and our prosperity, all we need and more. It is right and just that we give something back through these collections, helping people in our own country and around the world to live better and to grow in the love of Jesus.
One Church. One Mission. Real Lives.
Archbishop Paul J. Etienne, Archdiocese of Seattle
