A 2nd collection will be taken up the weekend of Sept. 11-12 to benefit the Bishop's Education Fund. Since the fund was established in 1995, more than $25 million has been raised. In the past 26 years, approximately $21 million in assistance has been given to over 50,000 children from nearly every parish in the diocese. Many students in our Diocese want a Catholic school education, but a number of those students can only do so with financial assistance. The Bishop’s Education Fund makes such assistance available. Thank you for your generosity!
