The second collection for this weekend is for the Ministry Center for International Seafarers and Truckers. The collection supports the diocesan Apostleship of the Sea. This ministry provides sailors at sea with the very basic fulfillment of their responsibilities as practicing Catholics. The funds support a center at the port and provide transportation for the seamen whenever they are allowed to leave the ship to attend Mass and to receive the Sacraments.

The special collection this weekend will benefit the faithful of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux and the Archdiocese of New Orleans, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. We have experienced the pain and expense of recovery following a storm of such magnitude, and we have experienced the generosity of the faithful from diocese across the country who reached out with their support.
