Know every penny collected is distributed as diocesan grants to support and strengthen evangelization programs. Locally, we receive a grant each year through this collection to assist our parishes in Neopit and Keshena to bring the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to our brothers and sisters of the Menominee Indian Tribe.
