Men and women in countries throughout Africa experience hardships brought on by climate change, poverty, and political instability. Amidst these challenges, the Catholic Church is there to preach the Gospel, work for justice for marginalized and vulnerable people, and help build peace in countries affected by conflict.
The bishops of the United States established the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa as a means for Catholics across the country to “Stand with Africa” by supporting evangelization, family ministries, and other pastoral efforts to preach and teach our Catholic faith.
This August, many dioceses across the United States will renew their commitment to the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa through a special collection. Please prayerfully consider participating in this year’s collection by making a gift to the Solidarity Fund at Mass or through your parish e-offertory program.
#iGiveCatholicTogether also accepts donations for the Solidarity Fund. To learn more, visit www.usccb.org/Africa for information and resources and share them with your family and friends.

"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.
