PLEASE, BE GENEROUS
NOV. 1 MISSION PARISHES NEED YOUR HELP BECAUSE: — There are 9 counties without a church building and 28 counties without a resident priest. — Forty percent of the people in the 65 counties are African-American; less than 1 percent share the Catholic faith. — There are 33 public and private universities, colleges and community colleges; there are no Catholic colleges. — Twenty parishes cover at least 2 counties. — Thirty-one counties have neither a religious sister, brother or lay volunteer in ministry.
