Resources and Calendar: National Collection

The USCCB designates the first or second Sunday in September for the National Collection for The Catholic University of America (September 1 or 8, 2024).

But please check the collection schedule for your diocese; the date of the collection in your parish may differ from what the USCCB recommends.

We provide the following resources to our Cardinal Ambassadors, pastors, and Church leaders to help promote and facilitate the National Collection. Some documents are posted in Microsoft Word format so that they may be edited and tailored for particular parishes.

1. Share the collection poster. Promote the collection with CatholicU's 2024 National Collection poster (also available in Spanish).
2. Follow our helpful ideas for a successful collection. Our simple, three-week plan guides you through the processing, starting the week prior to the collection and ending the week after the collection. Follow the instructions in Catholic University's 2024 National Collection helpful hints document.
3. Submit payment to the University. With our 2024 National Collection transmittal form, you may submit partial or final payment to Catholic University.
