There will be a second collection at all Sunday Masses throughout the Diocese of Pittsburgh on March 18 & 19 to benefit three important projects within the Church in the United States – the Catholic Home Missions Appeal, National Collection for Black and Indian Missions, and Catholic Campaign for Human Development. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal supports the Home Missions in Appalachia, the Deep South, and the Rocky Mountain states where the Catholic Church struggles to keep parishes open and educate children in the faith. The National Black and Indian Mission Collection assists with the evangelization of African American, Native American, Eskimo, and Aleute communities. Finally, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development supports low-income people as they work together to advance education opportunities, create jobs, and improve access to services for persons with disabilities. Your generosity will help these organizations forever improve the lives of the people they serve.
