Each year, the Diocese of Arlington Mission Cooperative Appeal invites us to extend our hands in solidarity with the universal Church, and this year Our Lady of Lourdes is supporting our diocesan mission in Bánica and Pedro Santana. For over three decades, this vital missionary partnership has allowed parishioners in Arlington to provide the financial, material, and volunteer support needed to sustain these rural communities. It is an opportunity for our parish to have a direct role in a beautiful legacy of global outreach.

Your financial support of this appeal transforms lives by meeting both immediate physical needs and long-term educational goals. From installing concrete floors in family homes to providing full tuitions for local seminarians and college students, every gift provides the essential infrastructure our diocesan priests need to serve on the ground. Please consider making a gift to the appeal this week to help uplift these families and keep the spirit of the Bánica mission thriving.
