Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino of Caracas, Venezuela is reminding Catholics of their duty to contribute financially to the Church.
In a Nov. 12 press release the cardinal called on Catholics to
participate in the national campaign, “Support Your Church,” which will
be held Nov. 27 and 28.
“We are all called to participate by contributing a portion of our
economic resources” so that through our generosity, “the Church’s works
can be sustained,” the cardinal said. He noted that “it is more of a
blessing to give than to receive.”
He also urged Venezuelan Catholics to be generous with their time by
participating in the activities of their parishes and dioceses.
The “Support Your Church” campaign will be used to help finance the
Church’s work in Venezuela and will also support elderly and sick
priests.
