Second Collections
Why Have a Second Collection?
Second collections are a stewardship learning moment. As Catholics we are part of a universal Church that extends well beyond our own parish boundaries. Jesus calls us to “make disciples of all nations” (Mt. 28:19). The bishops in the United States created the national collections so that by combining our resources we can more effectively carry out our mission as Catholics. Each of the collections is worthy of support and represents our community of faith at its best—working in the world, improving lives, and saving souls.
Please view these collections in the light of stewardship and sharing. God has given us our life and our prosperity; it is right and just that we give something back helping people in our own country and throughout the world. Thank you for your generous response!
If you need any additional graphics or information for your parish, please contact Francesca Lupinetti at flupinetti@archatl.com.

Donor Rights
We take our donors’ intentions seriously. The Archdiocese of Atlanta has adopted a “Donor Bill of Rights.” to assure you that the gifts you give, whether at the parish level or the archdiocesan level, will be used for the purposes for which they were given. If for some reason, a donor does not wish to support an organization designated for the second collection, they need only withhold their second collection gift on that particular Sunday.
