Welcome to Our Lady of Victory

We take up a second collection this weekend to   provide emergency relief throughout our country for places that have had hurricanes, flooding, and    other natural disasters. The funds will be distributed by Catholic Relief Services and Catholic  Charities.  Thanks for your generosity.  If  you forgot or missed this collection….please feel free to mark an envelope and get it in the collection or bring it to the office before the end of the month.  Thanks!
