2nd Collection: Catholic Communications Campaign this weekend

This weekend, our second collection supports the Catholic Communication Campaign which helps people across the United States and around the world to build community through communication.

The efforts of this campaign are more important than ever in connecting people with Christ, as parishes around the world gather and access resources virtually. Through websites, social networks, television, radio, and print, the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC) helps the Church spread the Gospel message through the media locally and nationally.

Half of all donations to the CCC collected in our diocese stay in the diocese to support local communications needs, such as radio and television programming and diocesan publications.

Some of the resources you may already use or be familiar with.

• Two television documentaries supported by the Catholic Communication Campaign are currently in national broadcast circulation: Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk (check your local ABC listings) and Servant of God Dorothy Day (check local public television station listings). Other projects have included the acclaimed public television documentaries Picturing Mary and The Face: Jesus in Art.
• The CCC provides ongoing support for the USCCB website, USCCB video productions including reflections on the daily readings, and content development for many of the USCCB's media platforms.
• Catholic Communication Campaign funds have also made possible media campaigns supporting marriage, family communications, service to others, and reconciliation, that reached millions on radio and television. 

Now more than ever, the Catholic Communication Campaign needs our support. We’ve made it easy to give online through our e-giving portal. You can also mail your envelope to the church for this collection.
