Missionary Cooperative Program

Each year over 150 missionary dioceses & religious orders request permission to come to our diocese to give an appeal for financial support. This appeal is a major source of funding for these missionaries, & the monies collected in our parish will go directly to that missionary diocese or religious for the poor that they serve. These funds are used to fee, house, & educate the poor & orphans, provide medical care, build churches, schools, clinics, catechetical training centers, dig wells, etc., and educate candidates for the priesthood & religious life and provide many other necessities, Please be generous!

Defend School Choice
