ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL 2023

Reach Out in Love

            When Jesus walked the Earth, each person He encountered received a most precious gift:  His Love.  Jesus spoke with many different people with so many challenges: the poor, the sick, the elderly, the uneducated, those in mourning, immigrants, the homeless, and even those who would, one day persecute Him and his followers.  He did not see any of them as problems to be solved.  He saw them as brothers and sisters to be loved!

          As we encounter those around us, we strive to follow our Lord’s example, and Reach Out in Love.  Each year, for nearly seven decades, the Annual Catholic Appeal brings hope and healing to people similar   to those served by Jesus…not just by trying to solve their problems, but by sharing with them the love of Jesus Christ.

Intention Cards:  Your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal will support ministries that really do help people, throughout the eleven counties of our Archdiocese, including outreach to the poor, parish life and youth programs, Catholic education, formation for priests and priests in retirement.

          All are invited to stop at the entrance to the Parish Chapel, beginning next weekend, to make a pledge.  It takes just a few minutes.  No gift is too small.  A gift in any amount means that you are taking part in the many works of love and service supported by the ACA.  Please stop next week after Mass.
