The Marion Catholic Community Welcomes You
In June, we celebrated the two centuries of faith since our archdiocese was established on June 19, 1821. As part of the bicentennial, Archbishop Schnurr has written a pastoral letter, entitled “Radiate Christ,” urging each of us to discipleship and to “rediscover the joy of knowing Christ deeply and following Him, thereby becoming a witness to the world.” It is Archbishop Schnurr’s hope that all Catholics of the archdiocese will prayerfully read this letter and engage with its contents, reflecting upon our relationship with the Lord and considering how we can individually and collectively Radiate Christ to all whom we encounter.

It is through your generous gifts that we are able to carry out our mission and to maintain our beautiful church buildings. Travis & Nicole Homan decided to give last year on Giving Tuesday. Here what Nicole has to say... |

BEACONS OF LIGHT
"The parish is a beacon that radiates the light of faith and thus responds to the deepest and truest desires of the human heart, giving meaning and hope to the lives of individuals and families." — POPE EMERITUS BENEDICT XVI, DECEMBER 10, 2006 CLICK HERE for more information |
Catholic Campaign for Human Development
Working on the Margins
Please Give Generously on Collection Week: November 20-21, 2021 November 20-21 is our annual collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), the national anti-poverty campaign of the U.S. bishops.
CCHD has been an immeasurable blessing for thousands in our Archdiocese over the years. Just this past year, the agencies funded by CCHD have empowered more than 2,500 low-income people to break the cycle of poverty through such feats as finding jobs, responsibly reentering society after prison, educating youth, and securing decent housing and public services for their communities. Archbishop Dennis Schnurr appeals to the faithful this year: “Through the grants we make to well-vetted organizations, CCHD uniquely empowers those in poverty to identify their own needs and to become their own agents of positive change.” Please prayerfully and generously consider how you will give on Collection Weekend, Nov. 20-21.
Your dollars are making real change! Visit www.usccb.org/cchd to learn more. Also check out the Archdiocesan CCHD website for more local information: https://resources.catholicaoc.org/offices/catholic-social-action/task-forces-committees/cchd.
