The second collection today is for the Catholic Communications Campaign. This campaign connects people with Christ through the Internet, television, radio, and print media. Fully 50% of the funds we collect stays right here in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to support local communications projects. The other 50% of the funds support national communications efforts as well as projects in developing countries. This collection connects people around the world to the Gospel message.

This week the U. S. celebrates Patriot Day, also know as 9/11 or September 11. It is the annual observance commemorating those who were killed or injured during the terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001.
