Catholic Home Missions Appeal 2021 Your support of the Catholic Home Missions Appeal strengthens the Church At Home. Over 40% of dioceses United States and its territories are considered mission territories, because they are unable to fund essential pastoral activities needed in their communities. Your support funds religious education, seminary formation, lay ministry training, and other programs that build vibrant faith communities right here in the United States. Prayerfully consider supporting the collection at this weekend! More information can be found at www.usccb.org/home-missions.
