SECOND COLLECTION TODAY FOR MISSION SUNDAY (Propagation of the Faith)

We know how blessed we are in our faith, in times of sorrow, in times of worry, in times of joy.  Christ calls us to share this gift with those who are close to us and the entire world. Today, World Mission Sunday, we pray in a special way, that all may know the nearness and love of Christ.  Our second collection for World Mission Sunday (Propagation of the Faith) will help support the Church’s missionary work throughout the world and in our home missions.  Please be as generous as you can in sharing the gift of faith you have received. Extra envelopes are available in the pews.
