Conferenza Episcopale Italiana promotes 20 September as National Day for priest support

The Italian Episcopal Conference has established September 20 as the National Day for awareness of clergy support.

The service for the promotion of economic support to the Catholic Church uses this day to remind the faithful that supporting priests helps sustain the communities they serve. The initiative notes that contributions, which may be tax-deductible, assist in the daily work and presence of the clergy within their pastoral communities.
