Welcome Circle fundraising guidance

When raising funds for your Welcome Circle, make sure to use the correct language:  “We’re raising funds for our ‘refugee fund’ or ‘asylum support fund’ and not “We’re raising funds to support the _____ family.” As long as you use the correct language and the parish is deciding who and what it is spent on, your fundraising effort will be legal.
