2024 Collection for the Needs of the Church in Canada
Tuesday, August 27, 2024The annual Collection for the Needs of the Church in Canada will be held on 28 and 29 September 2024. This annual initiative assists the Bishops in their ministry of accompanying, teaching, guiding, sanctifying and caring for the Church in Canada.
As part of their episcopal ministry, the Bishops will continue to work together on important doctrinal and ethical questions; ecumenical initiatives and interreligious dialogue; international relations; evangelization, faith education and catechesis; questions of social justice; responsible ministry, the development of a culture of life and family, as well as on relations with Indigenous peoples.
In order to promote the Collection and the collective work of the Bishops through their Episcopal Conference and the Regional Episcopal Assemblies, the CCCB is making the promotional materials available on its website:
• Message from the CCCB President to pastors and collaborators in pastoral ministry;
• Two short texts intended to be adapted or printed in parish bulletins on 22 and 29 September, or distributed by other means of communication such as websites and emails;
• Suggested prayers of the faithful for the weekends of 22 and 29 September.
