The Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe (CCEE) is this weekend. The countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union endured decades of communist oppression. Also emerging from the years of communist rule is the Church, which suffered grave wounds to its spiritual life and its ability to serve. Now it is vigorously involved in rebuilding the faith of its people. Proceeds from this collection, sponsored by the bishops of the United States, are used for things such as supporting religioius education programs, training seminarians, expanding social ministries, and rebuilding churches, convents and schools.
