IN GOD WE TRUST DAY
April 18th and 19th after all Weekend Masses
All parishioners are invited to bring their spare change to Mass, to be donated to the Military Assistance Program (MAP), which supports our active members of the U.S. military. Your generosity is appreciated!
Background: “In God We Trust” Day is observed on April 22nd ~ the date Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1864. This act authorized the inscription “In God We Trust” on U.S. coins.
“In God We Trust” became our National Motto many years later.
Idea: Take a sharpie and write “In God We Trust” on all your credit cards!
