This weekend we will be participating in a Second Collection for Catholic Charities.  This vital organization offers programs and services that empower individuals and strengthen families within the Des Moines Diocese. 

Ready to give online?  The Diocese has a donation page here. 

Since we will not have a traditional collection, you may place your offering in a basket in the Gathering Space, in front of the altar for the outdoor Mass, or drop it in the Tithing Dropbox.  Please clearly mark that your donation is for the Second Collection. 

Looking for the tithing drop box? It is in the north parking lot next to Father’s usual parking spot! Look for a triangular grassy island and a black mailbox-sized receptacle.
