OFFERING

This year, we will direct Spring Training & Gathering offering to the Bishops’ Discretionary Fund. The bishops use these funds to assist those in need on a regular basis and those needs, including housing, legal and medical expenses, have and continue to increase with on-going funding cuts in social services. The bishops are grateful for the opportunity to be able to respond through the distribution of these funds and for your geneorisity in supporting those in need with your gifts.
