Bulletin Announcements 

English: 

Week before the collection, October 11-12
Next week’s second collection is a combination of three second collections: World Missions, the Church in Latin America and the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. Our offerings will support the work and witness of those who selflessly give up all for the sake of our Lord and his Gospel — the local priests, religious and lay catechists who daily provide loving service to the poor and suffering.    

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. For more information, visit lifeofthechurch.com/donate. 

Week of the collection, October 18-19
Today’s second collection is a combination of three national second collections: World Missions, the Church in Latin America and the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. This day is more than just a second collection. It is an invitation to participate in the church’s universal mission to spread the Gospel to all corners of the earth. Your support will make a significant difference in the lives of many priests, religious and lay catechists throughout the world.  

As we prepare for World Mission Sunday, we invite you to pray for this day and consider how you might contribute to the missions. Whether through prayer, volunteering or financial support, your involvement can significantly impact the lives of those who have yet to hear the Good News. 

For more information, visit lifeofthechurch.com/donate. 

Week after the collection, October 25-26  

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you who generously contributed to last weekend’s second collection for the Church in Latin America/Central and Eastern Europe/World Missions. Your support has made a significant difference in the lives of many priests, religious and lay catechists throughout the world. Let us pray for all who long to hear the hope-filled, life-giving message of Jesus’ love and salvation.   

If you missed the collection, it is not too late to give. Visit lifeofthechurch.com/donate.

Semana previa a la colecta, 11 y 12 de octubre
La segunda colecta de la próxima semana combina tres colectas: Las Misiones Mundiales, la Iglesia en América Latina y la Iglesia en Europa Central y Oriental. Nuestras donaciones apoyarán la labor y el testimonio de quienes desinteresadamente lo dan todo por amor a nuestro Señor y su Evangelio: los sacerdotes, religiosos y catequistas laicos locales que diariamente brindan un servicio amoroso a los pobres y a los que sufren. 

Gracias por su continuo apoyo y generosidad. Para más información, visiten lifeofthechurch.com/donate. 

Semana de la colecta, 18 y 19 de octubre 

La segunda colecta de hoy combina tres colectas nacionales: LasMisiones Mundiales, la Iglesia en América Latina y la Iglesia en Europa Central y Oriental. Este día es más que una simple colecta. Es una invitación a participar en la misión universal de la Iglesia de difundir el Evangelio a todos los rincones de la tierra. Su apoyo hará una diferencia significativa en la vida de muchos sacerdotes, religiosos y catequistas laicos en todo el mundo. 

Mientras nos preparamos para el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones, los invitamos a orar por este día y a considerar cómo podrían contribuir a las misiones. Ya sea a través de la oración, el voluntariado o el apoyo financiero, su participación puede impactar significativamente la vida de quienes aún no han escuchado la Buena Nueva.

Semana después de la colecta, 25 y 26 de octubre
Expresamos nuestra más sincera gratitud a cada uno de aquellos que generosamente contribuyeron a la segunda colecta del fin de semana pasado para la Iglesia en América Latina/Europa Central y Oriental/Las Misiones Mundiales. Su apoyo ha hecho una diferencia significativa en la vida de muchos sacerdotes, religiosos y catequistas laicos en todo el mundo. Oremos por todos los que anhelan escuchar el mensaje esperanzador y vivificante del amor y la salvación de Jesús.
