Why Support the CMA?PARISH CMA TRAINING WORKSHOP
• Supporting the CMA is how we:
• Support the local Church in action
• Imitate Christ by feeding, healing, and teaching
• Imitate St. Paul and the Apostles who carried the support of one community to another
• Sustain ministries that parishes would struggle to run or support on their own
