The National Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, (AMS) takes place every three years in dioceses across the country. Approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in 2012, a second collection will be taken up at Masses on Jan. 10 and 11, 2026.

About the Archdiocese for the Military Services
The AMS provides pastoral care to Catholic men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, enrolled at a U.S. Military Academy, being treated as a patient at any of the 153 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, or who work for the federal government beyond U.S. borders – including those from our own parish and diocese. The AMS does not receive any funding from the government or military, and has no parishes from which to receive a weekly assessment.
