Special Collections

Special collections are the vehicle by which the Catholic faithful reach beyond their own immediate needs and assist the Catholic Church at the diocesan, national and international levels, offering all of us an opportunity to help others in the light of the Gospel.

Thank you for all you do to support the needs of the larger Church through the promotion of these special collections.
