Each year all parishes in the Diocese of San Diego are asked to participate in the Annual Lenten Collection. The weekend of March 18-19 has been designated for the 2023 Annual Lenten Collection, which supports the works of Catholic Relief Services, the Church in Africa and the Church in Latin America. We graciously ask you to respond generously to this worthwhile collection.
Programs include relief and resettlement for victims of persecution, war, and natural disasters; development projects to improve living conditions for the poor; legal and support services for poor immigrants; peace and reconciliation work for people suffering from violence; and advocacy on behalf of the powerless.
Helping Jesus in Disguise - In keeping with the theme "Help Jesus in Disguise," the funds collected through The Catholic Relief Services Collection support vital Catholic programs that share in the Catholic mission of promoting the sacredness of human life and the dignity of the human person.
