With the approval of the U.S Conference of Catholic Bishops, every three years, a special collection is taken up for the Archdiocese for the Military services, USA (AMS). The AMS provides pastoral care to Catholic men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, enrolled at a U.S. Military Academy, being treated as a patient at any of the 153 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, or who work for the federal government beyond U.S. borders – including those from our own parish and diocese. The AMS has no parishes from which to receive a weekly assessment. Our Parish will take up a special collection for this Archdiocese, next Sunday, November 6th. To learn more about the AMS, go to www.milarch.org/nationalcollection.
Thank you for your generosity.
