Spring Appeal Helps the Church Universal

By: Amanda Hudson

DIOCESE—“There are those who suffer daily from hunger, violence and atrocities from war,” says Bishop David Malloy in his message for the annual International Appeal coming to parishes the weekend of March 14-15.

“We have an opportunity to help them by participating” in this appeal, he adds, noting that “we can personally help Pope Francis’ ministry through Peter’s Pence,” one of the individual collections included in this combined appeal.

Three combined collections each year replace what otherwise would be about a dozen special collections in parishes. The National Appeal was held in January and the Mission Appeal is held in fall.
