The bishops of the United States established the national collections to support the Church’s works of social justice, evangelization and education, both domestically and around the globe. Through our parishes, every Catholic participates in a global community of faith. The national collections are a powerful expression of this community. Our contributions help people across the street and around the world, people who struggle to practice the faith, people who live in great need. National collections are assigned a national date. However, many (arch)dioceses elect to change national collection dates to avoid conflict with local activities and needs. Please check with your local (arch)diocesan staff for the following collections: Collection for the Church in Latin America, Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, The Catholic Relief Services Collection, Catholic Home Missions Appeal, Catholic Communication Campaign, and Peter’s Pence.
