AUGUST SECOND COLLECTION: August 12 - 13 Diocesan Multicultural Ministry

EACH YEAR, THE DIOCESE OF SHREVEPORT CONDUCTS FIVE OFFERTORY SECOND COLLECTIONS FOR MINISTRIES THAT DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE PARISHIONERS OF OUR DIOCESE. All donations are solely for the designated ministry and offset costs that are not covered by the Catholic Service Appeal. This month’s second collection will benefit the Diocesan Office of Multicultural Ministry.

In our diocese, we are blessed and enriched by the presence of Catholics from ethnic and language groups from all over the world.The Multicultural Ministry Office exists to create a welcoming environment for all people and offers educational and communal opportunities so we can share cultural and linguistic gifts with the greater community in our diocese.

The members of St. Jude’s 33 days to Morning Glory group received a blessing from Father Karl at the completion of the retreat. At the end of their 33 day journey the ladies were drawn closer to Jesus through the context of their Marian devotion, and discovered a stronger and transforming trust in Jesus.
