Our annual Diocesan Collection for Justice and Hope (DCJH) will be taken the weekend of November 18-19, 2023. This collection gives Catholics an opportunity to reach out in solidarity to those who suffer and lack basic human necessities. All funds donated during the DCJH collection are granted to organizations that give realistic hope to the poor to break out of the cycle of poverty. There is an envelope in your packet for this collection or you can contribute directly through the link to the right.
