BISHOP’S COLLECTION FOR THE NEEDS OF THE CHURCH IN CANADA: The annual Collection for the Needs of the Catholic

to our diocese, which will use these revenues to help pay its annual contribution to the Canadian Conference of Catholic
Bishops (CCCB). Through the work of the Bishops of Canada who are its members, the Conference is involved in national and
international areas of pastoral activity, including ecumenical and interfaith relations, social justice, aid to developing
countries, collaboration with Aboriginal Peoples, the protection of human life, liturgy and catechesis. It also provides the
Bishops a forum to share their experiences and insights on the life of the Church and the major events that shape our society.
