The October 17th – 18th Second Collection is a combination of 3 second collections: World Missions, the Church in Latin America, and the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. Our offering will support the work and witness of the local priests, religious and lay catechists who daily provide loving service to the poor and suffering. Through the Eucharist and Baptism we re-commit to our vocation to be missionaries. These brothers and sisters are waiting to hear the joyous “good news” of Jesus.
