During the national appeal, which is held in most Catholic parishes on the second weekend in December, time may be set aside during or after Mass for short testimonials about the needs of senior women and men religious. Consider volunteering to speak at your local parish. Share how a sister, brother, or religious order priest influenced your beliefs, values, decisions, or career choice. For ideas and assistance in preparing your talk, please see our Speaker Guide.
If you are unable to speak, try sharing our videos or posting about the collection on social media. (Our Social Media Tool Kit can help.) Or ask to place a reminder in your parish bulletin or electronic newsletter.
