This week our parish will take a collection to benefit the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS).
The AMS is the Archdiocese for the Military Services, not of the Military Services.
This is an important distinction, because the AMS receives no funding from the U.S. Government or U.S. Military and has no parishes from which to receive a weekly assessment. Instead, it must rely on the generosity of those whose values and priorities align with its mission, programs and services, to meet its costs.
Please prayerfully consider a contribution to this special collection to
support active-duty military men and women, and their families – including those from our own parish.

Therefore every threat to human dignity and life must necessarily be felt in the Church's very heart; it cannot but affect her at the core of her faith in the Redemptive Incarnation of the Son of God, and engage her in her mission of proclaiming the Gospel of life in all the world and to every creature (cf. Mk 16:15)." (St. John Paul II, The Gospel of Life [Evangelium vitae], no. 3)
