On Saturday, April 12, Bishop Rice will lead us in the annual Bishop’s Mass for Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri (CCSOMO). We will lift our prayers for the at-risk veterans, pregnant women with nowhere to turn, developmentally disabled individuals, homeless families, and others whom CCSOMO serves each day. Thousands of individuals and families turn to CCSOMO every year for help. CCSOMO responds to all with Christ-like compassion in the name of our entire Catholic community.

As we reach out across the Diocese with the goal of providing hope to the most vulnerable in our communities, we ask for your partnership, both spiritually and financially. Please join us at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton or virtually on the CCSOMO and Diocese of Springfield–Cape Girardeau Facebook pages.

Throughout Lent, we ask that you consider your Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri as part of your Lenten almsgiving. Gifts to the Bishop’s Mass for CCSOMO support all clients across all programs. This offering is an opportunity for Catholics throughout our Diocese to unite in Reaching Out, Providing Hope, and Changing Lives!
