Throughout the year the faithful are asked to contribute to their parishes through a weekly collection to help cover the cost of operations and support ministries. Sometimes, the parish will take up a second collection with a specific purpose. Many of these are national collections coordinated by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).Saltillo Mission
Collection Date: Jan. 6 & 7, 2024
Inspired by the Second Vatican Council and the call for the “first world” to reach out to the “third world” and share their resources, Father Patrick Quinn was selected in 1969 by then Bishop Joseph Brunini to open a mission for the diocese of Natchez-Jackson in Saltillo, Mexico. Since then, generations of Catholics from Mississippi traveled to the mission to serve their neighbors. While the Diocese of Jackson no longer staffs the mission, we still support the work being done there.
Bulletin announcement: The Saltillo Mission has a special place in the hearts of generations of Catholics in the Diocese of Jackson. From the time of its founding in 1969 until today, volunteers from Mississippi served their neighbors in this desperately poor region of Mexico. While the diocese no longer staffs the mission, we still provide financial support. Your donation to the Saltillo Mission collection will help provide transportation, sacraments and education to the people in Saltillo. Please be generous.

Black and Indian Missions
Collection Date: Feb. 17 & 18, 2024
The Black and Indian Mission Office is comprised of three distinct but inter-related organizations, each with its own purpose and history, but all seeking to fulfill the one Mission to the Missions! Founded by the Catholic bishops of the United States, each organization cooperates with local diocesan communities to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and respond to real and pressing needs on the ground. They are: The Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions, the Commission for the Catholic Missions among the Colored People and the Indians and the Catholic Negro-American Mission Board. This collection is coordinated by the Black and Indian Mission Office.
Bulletin Announcement: Recognizing a need to call the faithful to support missionary work among African American and Native American Catholics, the U.S. Catholic bishops established this Catholic Church charity for the Catholic Missions in 1884 to administer a national collection—the first of its kind in the United States—to support missionary work. Ever since the first Collection in 1884, the Commission has administered the yearly, national Black and Indian Mission Collection. The generosity of the good People of God allows the Commission to give helpful grants to dioceses across the country to operate schools, parishes, and other missionary services that build the Body of Christ in Native American, Alaska Native, and Black Catholic communities.
Anuncio del boletín: Reconociendo la necesidad de llamar a los fieles para apoyar el trabajo misionero entre los católicos Afroamericanos y Nativos Americanos, los obispos católicos de los Estados Unidos establecieron esta organización benéfica de la Iglesia católica para las Misiones Católicas en 1884, para administrar una colecta nacional, la primera de su tipo en el Estados Unidos, para apoyar el trabajo misionero. Desde la primera Colecta en 1884, la Comisión ha administrado anualmente la Colecta Nacional de Misiones Indias y Negras. La generosidad del buen Pueblo de Dios le permite a la Comisión otorgar subvenciones útiles a diócesis de todo el país para operar escuelas, parroquias y otros servicios misioneros que construyen el Cuerpo de Cristo en las comunidades de Nativos Americanos, Nativos de Alaska y católicos de comunidades de la raza negra.

Catholic Service Appeal
Collection Start Date: Feb. 10 & 11, 2024
The Catholic Service Appeal is the annual giving campaign of the Diocese of Jackson. There are many services the Diocese provides to our parishes, schools, and to all Catholics that would be difficult for even the most prosperous parishes to undertake on their own. This includes support for educating seminarians, Catholic Charities, campus ministry, mission parishes and schools, formational ministries, priest retirement and clergy assistance, prison ministry, evangelizing and communications. When the goal of the Catholic Service Appeal is achieved, we insure that these programs will receive the funding that is needed.

Catholic Relief Services
Collection Date: March 9 & 10, 2024
The Catholic Relief Services Collection supports Catholic Church organizations that carry out international relief and solidarity efforts. Programs include relief and resettlement for victims of persecution, war, and natural disasters; development projects to improve living conditions for the poor; legal and support services for poor immigrants; peace and reconciliation work for people suffering from violence; and advocacy on behalf of the powerless.
In the developing world, it is often hard for families to support themselves and their children. Sophie, a widow working in a village in Burkina Faso, was struggling to feed her family and pay for schooling for her children. Thanks to the help of Catholic Relief Services, one of the CRSC-supported organizations, her village was able to set up a Savings and Internal Lending Community (SILC). Through the SILC, members contribute what they can afford, allowing them to pool their resources and save collectively. Members can then borrow money to meet pressing needs or develop business opportunities. Through the SILC, Sophie was able to take out a $200 loan to cover startup costs for her own canteen, a sum that would be nearly impossible for her to save. Her canteen has been very successful and began to pay off in only six months. Her community has benefited too, as she has been able to hire three assistants to work with her. Without the SILC and the work of CRS, it would have been nearly impossible for her, and others like her, to create a sustainable life for her and her family.
Bulletin Announcement: This week, we are taking up The Catholic Relief Services Collection to respond to Jesus in disguise. This collection helps six Catholic agencies to provide relief and support to struggling communities and to work toward peace and reconciliation among our marginalized brothers and sisters here and around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection. Learn more at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.

Catholic Home Missions
Collection Date: April 27 & 28, 2024
The Bishops’ Subcommittee on Catholic Home Missions is a grant-making agency. It offers financial support to missionary activities that strengthen the Catholic Church in the United States, and in its territories and former territories. Through its annual fundraising campaign, the Catholic Home Missions Appeal, Catholic Home Missions educates American Catholics about mission needs and invites them to assist fellow Catholics in the practice of the faith. The Appeal primarily supports home mission dioceses, that is, those dioceses in the United States that are unable to offer their people the basic pastoral ministries of word, worship, and service without outside help. It may also give grants to other dioceses in the U.S. for particular projects, and to organizations and religious communities engaged in missionary work. The Subcommittee funds a wide range of pastoral services. However, it principally focuses on (1) evangelization activities, (2) religious education, (3) ministry training for priests, deacons, religious sisters and brothers, and laypeople; (4) support of poor parishes across the country.
Bulletin Announcement: Support the Catholic Home Missions Appeal today! Right now, over 40 percent of dioceses in the United States are considered home mission territory because they are unable to fund the essential pastoral work needed in their communities.
