Archbishop Broglio, President of the USCCB, has asked Bishops in the United States to consider holding a special collection to support the work of the Catholic Near East Association (CNEWA) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). The request concerns their humanitarian work for those suffering the effects of war and famine in Gaza. 

Given the immediacy of the need for food and supplies, Archbishop Henning has asked us to take up a special collection on September 6/7 for Gaza Relief at St. Mary’s Parish.  Please help our brothers and sisters who are suffering, starving, and in great need of our prayers and support.
