Broglio, president of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). In a letter to the U.S. bishops, he asked them to consider taking up a voluntary special collection in their dioceses. In the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, parishes may elect to take up a special collection for Gaza Relief. The collected funds are to be sent to the Mission Office, “Gaza Relief 2025”. The Mission Office will forward the funds to Catholic Relief Services.
