This special collection is taken up in all parishes across Arkansas. The support the Dioceses of Little Rock receives from this national collection helps the Diocesan Council for Black Catholics and other ministries, events and formation to encourage the Christian life in culturally appropriate ways. This collection has supported evangelization programs in almost every diocese in the United States for more than 130 years.
