Saturday April 27 and Sunday, April 28, 2019 is the Catholic Home Missions Appeal at all Masses. Right now, over 40% of United States dioceses are considered mission territory because they cannot fund essential pastoral work in their communities, including the Ohio dioceses of Youngstown and Steubenville.
Your support of this appeal eases the struggle of these dioceses. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this appeal. More information: www.usccb.org/home-missions.
