NATIONAL COLLECTION for the ARCHDIOCESE for MILITARY SERVICES
Established by Saint John Paul II in 1985, the Archdiocese for the Military Services is responsible for providing the full range of pastoral ministries available in all other U.S. dioceses to those serving in the United States Armed Services, enrolled in U.S. Military Academies, undergoing treatment at any of the 153 Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, working in civilian jobs for the federal government beyond U.S. borders, and for the families of these populations. In other words, the AMS is responsible for the pastoral care of men, women, and children from all U.S. dioceses, who hail from all 50 States and U.S. Territories - including members of your own parish.
The next National Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military Services is scheduled for the weekend of November 2 and 3, 2019. The AMS receives no funding from the U.S. Government or the U.S. Military, has no parishes for a weekly in-pew collection, and must rely principally on private donations to fund an annual operating budget of over $8.2. million.
Please help continue to provide priests for the Church and the military chaplaincy and to minister to the Catholic military men and women, and their families, who are part of the global Archdiocese - parishioners and families from your diocese - with a donation to the 2019 Triennial National Collection for the AMS.
