The Catholic Relief Services Collection serves Jesus in the victims of human trafficking, in those who suffer from injust laws, and in those who need pastoral care and humanitarian assistance across the globe. Through supporting today’s collection, you help Jesus in disguise. 

Many diocese here in the United Sates do not have enough priests and trained lay ministers to serve their parishes. These diocese are known as home missions. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place this weekend in the second collection, and supports these dioceses by funding essential ministries, including seminary education and lay ministry training.
