The money collection supports the Home missions—places in the United States where the Catholic Church struggles just to keep parishes open and to educate children in the faith. Some dioceses are terribly short of priest, sisters and the money to run parishes. For example, there are only 70 priests in the whole state of Utah, 57 in Idaho, and 45 in Wyoming. This Appeal also provides funding to the global Archdiocese of Military Service, which sends 982 chaplains to offer Mass, sacraments, counselling to American Catholic soldiers and their families on 220 military bases around the world. HOW YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD Recognize your importance. God provides all you need to fulfil your mission. Cultivate your gifts and urge others to develop theirs. Create productive change. Rather than finding fault and criticizing, ask yourself What good can I do today? Then do it. Pray. Spend time with God. Entrust yourself, your loved ones and all your brothers and sisters to His care. Stick with it. If you get discouraged, remember that perseverance and patience are vital to success.
