Supporting the Church’s works of social justice, evangelization, catechesis, and national and local institutional development--domestically and around the world--through the generosity of parishioners to annual national appeals.
Many dioceses in the United States will take the annual collection for the U.S. bishops’ Catholic Communication Campaign on the weekend of May 31-June 1. This annual collection supports digital, broadcast, and print media communication efforts of the United States bishops on a national level as well as in local dioceses, where half of donations collected in the diocese are used to fund Church media outreach efforts to the local community.
Funds from the collection support the work of Catholic News Service Rome as it covers breaking stories such as the recent conclave and election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, as well as the ongoing daily ministries of the Pope and the Vatican offices that serve him. The Catholic Communication Campaign also supports communications programs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops such as the “5 Minutes with a Bishop” video interviews featuring individual bishops speaking about their pastoral work.
Dioceses that participate in the collection use the local share to support efforts such as diocesan magazines and podcasts, expanded multimedia and video production capacity, and improved media outreach to Spanish-speaking communities.
Please give to the Catholic Communication Campaign at Mass to help share the Gospel locally and nationwide. If you are unable to give in your parish but wish to support the national communications efforts of the bishops with an online donation, please visit #iGiveCatholicTogether.
"Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you." Luke 6:38
Each parish is part of the Church Universal; it is the Catholic Church in a particular place. The bishops of the United States created the national collections so that, by combining resources, we can more effectively carry out our mission as Catholics. Each of these important collections is worthy of your support. Each collection represents our community of faith at work in the world, saving souls and improving lives.
The bishops encourage us to view the national collections in the light of stewardship and of sharing. God has given us our light and our prosperity, all we need and more. It is right and just that we give something back through these collections, helping people in our own country and around the world to live better and to grow in the love of Jesus.
One Church. One Mission. Real Lives.
Archbishop Paul J. Etienne, Archdiocese of Seattle
