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
