250 works of mercy
"As the United States of America commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. All Catholics are encouraged to join the bishops in praying for the unity and healing of our country.
One opportunity for parishes and individuals to participate is by contributing to a collective 250 Hours of Adoration and 250 Works of Mercy." https://www.usccb.org/250-works-mercy
We encourage parishioners/families to perform Corporal Works of Mercy to celebrate our 250th Anniversary as a nation. "Our works of mercy draw from the deep well of our faith and prayer, constantly reminding us that in tending to our brothers and sisters, we tend to Christ himself." https://www.usccb.org/250-works-mercy
