CCCB: 75 years of episcopal collegiality and solidarity at the service of the People of God in Canada.
At the start of the 75th anniversary year of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB), its President Bishop Lionel Gendron, P.S.S., notes how this collection “allows all the Catholic faithful to express their solidarity with their diocese/ eparchy, and also provides an opportunity to support the work of their regional episcopal assembly as well as the national mission of our Conference.” Any additional revenues which are raised may be used by the diocese/eparchy for its own pastoral programs or other activities.
The Collection for the Needs of the Church in Canada will take place 29 and 30 September 2018. This annual charitable initiative assists the Bishops in their ministry of leading, shepherding, teaching, guiding, sanctifying and caring for the Church in Canada.
