Half of the collection today will stay within our parish to be used for Faith Formation while the remaining half will go to the Diocesan Office of Faith Formation and be used Diocesan wide. Please be generous in giving to this very special collection.

La Oficina de Formación se enfoca en apoyar la formación de fe para todos y todas, incluyendo la formación de fe para adultos al igual que el entrenamiento de líderes catequistas y la formación catequista de maestros y maestras de religión. La mitad de la colecta el día de hoy se quedará en nuestra parroquia para ser usada para la Formación de Fe y la otra mitad ira a la oficina Diocesana de Formación de Fe para que sea usada por toda la diócesis. Por favor, sean generosos en su donación para esta colecta especial.
