Dear Parishioners,
I am writing on behalf of Bishop Weisenburger and the Annual Catholic Appeal. The ACA is a major source of diocesan funding for the education of seminarians and catechists, outreach to prisoners, Catholic Community Services, and other diocesan ministries. Currently, our parish is just over 80% of the way to our parish goal. I know that this year has been difficult for many. There is a decline in the number of donors in the dioceses from last year at this same time. If your means allow and you have not yet had the opportunity to make a gift, please remember our Bishop and local Church with a gift to the ACA.
Thank you as always for your great generosity with the Church. Peace.
Fr. John Arnold
Annual Catholic Appeal Prayer
God, whose love is never-ending,
You care for us in all ways and at all times.
Bless us with the understanding that
everything we have is a gift from You.
You call us to be stewards of your abundance,
the caretakers of all you have entrusted to us.
Help us to always use your gifts wisely,
Teach us to share them generously.
Send your Holy Spirit to work through us,
bringing your message to those we serve.
May our faithful stewardship
through the Annual Catholic Appeal
bear witness to your enduring love of all creation.
May Mary, Mother of God, be with us
to inspire, guide and protect us.
Oh, Holy Blessed Mother, pray for us.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen
