On the weekend of March 14-15, Catholics across the United States will be asked to help some of the world’s most-vulnerable people, at home and abroad.
The U.S. bishops’ annual Catholic Relief Services Collection benefits six agencies and offices affiliated with the Catholic Church, including the U.S. bishops’ flagship international relief and development agency, Catholic Relief Services. Last year, the Diocese of Camden raised 94,406 for the collection.
“We help all who are marginalized, including victims of war and disaster overseas,” said Bishop Daniel H. Mueggenborg of Reno, chairman of USCCB Committee on National Collections. “Our Lord tells us to love our neighbors – those we know, those we don’t and those we think are very different from us. [This] collection is one way that we show that love.”
The other recipients of this collection are the USCCB Secretariat of Justice and Peace, Holy Father’s Relief Fund, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, USCCB Secretariat of Migration, and two initiatives of the USCCB Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church.
