Special Collection TODAY, 9/16: Community Mission Appeal The Community Mission Appeal (CMA) was established in order to help parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana reach out to their neighbors who are most in need. Funds for the CMA are raised through parish appeals throughout the Diocese, as well as individual contributions. The amount to be distributed will depend upon the success of those efforts. Last year, we were able to award $27,250 to these ministries. You may place checks payable to the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana in the regular collection. Be sure to write "Community Mission Appeal" or "CMA" on the memo line. Donations may also be made online at www.edola.org/cma or mailed to the following address: Community Mission Appeal Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana 1623 Seventh Street New Orleans, LA 70115 Volunteer Ministry Celebration Sunday, Sept. 30 We will celebrate 13 years of hosting volunteers in the city at the service on Sunday, September 30.
