Serving those who Serve

Our parish will take up the Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), next weekend, August 27-28.
 
This is a collection approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to be taken every three years.
 
The Archdiocese for the Military Services provides pastoral care to Catholic men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, enrolled at a U.S. Military Academy, being treated as a patient at any of the 153 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, or who work for the federal government beyond U.S. borders—including those from our own parish and diocese. The Archdiocese for the Military Services does not receive any funding from the government or military, and has no parishes from which to receive a weekly assessment.
