The second collection for this weekend is for the Archdiocese for the Military Services. Established by Saint John Paul II in 1985, the AMS is the only US diocese responsible for the pastoral care of men and women serving in the Armed Services, enrolled at a Military Academy, being treated as patient at any of the 153 Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, or working for the federal government beyond our borders. AMS priests and deacons serve approximately 1.8 million Catholics who hail from all 50 states and US territories. Please support their mission: “Serving Those Who Serve”.
