Next weekend is the Collection for the Mission Co-Op. Attached to your bulletin is an envelope to help with their works of God. 

The Amen Foundation is a Catholic, tax-exempt, non-profit organization founded in 1990. Hundreds of missionaries who have benefited from the Foundation’s mission now serve our Church and society on five continents, especially in Africa. The Amen Foundation has pioneered the process of exchange and sharing of ministry personnel and resources between several American dioceses and religious communities and the African Churches.

Many of the missionaries’ work under very harsh conditions around the world. The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is so devastating to our mission outreach. Many of them are stranded in isolation at a time that coming together is no longer desirable. The Amen Foundation has a special ministry of support and hospitality to respond to these needs. May God bless you for sharing in our story today. We thank you for your generosity...
