WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services is expecting greater financial stability and less pressure on the delivery of ministries and services once funds from a new national collection hit the books in 2013. Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio said the collection, approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops during the fall general assembly, is projected to raise at least $10 million when it is taken every three years in participating dioceses. The collection is likely to be taken near Veterans Day in November, beginning in 2013. Funds would be used to help pay off the $1.8 million mortgage on the archdiocesan headquarters in Washington's Brookland neighborhood and establish an endowment for future needs. Both steps are expected to ease some of the pressure of having to raise $4.5 million to $5.5 million annually from private donors for the archdiocese's operation, Archbishop Broglio told Catholic News Service. "I think caring for military personnel is a concern of most American Catholics, and I think they will be generous," he said. The military services archdiocese is responsible for many of the same services and ministries as any other diocese. Its staffers minister not just to soldiers, but their families as well. "The Archdiocese for the Military Services basically provides all the services that a Catholic territorial diocese would provide except that our people, rather than being members of a diocese or archdiocese because of where they are located, they are members because of who they are," Archbishop Broglio said.
