The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, (AMS), has officially kicked off its 2019 National Collection campaign. The collection, to be taken up in Catholic parishes throughout the United States at weekend Masses Nov. 9-10, 2019, will support pastoral care and ministry to Catholic families stationed worldwide in the U.S. Military, and Catholic patients in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers throughout the country and in Guam and Puerto Rico. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the AMS, Ms. Mary Lavin, Executive Director of Major Gifts and Planned Giving, shares how private support is critical to the Archdiocese's mission, "Serving Those Who Serve," and how you can help.
