Church Overseas Combined Collection

The Church Overseas Combined Collection will be held the weekend of January 24/25, 2026. This four-in-one collection includes Catholic Relief Services, Holy Father/Peter’s Pence, the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, and the Church in Latin America.

PARISHES: Please see bulletin announcements for the weekends of January 17/18, January 24/25, and January 31/February 1 and collection descriptions included with this month’s Communique attachments.

The Church Overseas Combined Collection supports ministries of the Church around the globe:

• Catholic Relief Services (CRS),
• Holy Father/Peter’s Pence,
• the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, and

These ministries assist the Church in serving people who are hungry, refugees, victims of natural disasters, and development projects.  Please give generously to this collection which combines four collections in one.
