They hope you will be able to make a contribution to a collection in aid of their Missionary work which will be taken up after each Mass. Do your best to contribute! An Englishman and a Jew were talking about the ways of their respective races. You people, said the Jew, have been taking things from us for thousands of years, like the Ten Commandments, for instance. Well yes, said the Englishman, we took them from you all right, but you can't say we kept them.
