Annual Catholic Appeal 2021 (Week 4) – THY WILL BE DONE

A Message from Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski:

“The Annual Catholic Appeal unifies us as Catholics in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, and I am grateful for your efforts that sustain the vital work of our ministries and agencies.  Though this year’s events will be vital due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our strengthened unity and collective efforts in support of the Appeal continue to be needed more than ever during these trying times.

“God calls us to be stewards of His divine will, and your support of the Annual Catholic Appeal means thousands in need will find the grace and mercy they seek as we proclaim with one voice, Thy Will Be Done.” 

Your gift makes a difference in every neighborhood, every community, and every parish in the eleven counties of the Archdiocese.  Your gift to the Appeal helps parents seeking education for their children, families who are hungry, couples preparing for marriage, teens learning about their faith, homeless people seeking shelter, priests in retirement, seminarians in formation, and those who have no one to defend them.  Wherever people have a genuine need in our Archdiocese, the Annual Catholic Appeal is likely to be involved in meeting that need.

Please consider making a gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal, fill out your ACA card, and return it to St. Peter Parish – by putting it in the collection basket at Mass, dropping it by the parish office, or mailing it back.  No gift is too small.  Every gift given in love helps to minister God’s love, mercy, and peace…THY WILL BE DONE.  Learn more about how you can impact the lives of those in need at aca.archstl.org.

 Annual Catholic Appeal Prayer

Lord God, we thank You for the untold blessings You have bestowed   upon us.  We offer these blessings back to You.  We lay before You the labors and fruits of the Annual Catholic Appeal.  We pray that our sole desire be to serve Your holy will.  United as Catholics, let us be reminded of our baptismal call to follow our Lord, Jesus Christ, in His service to others.  We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.  Saint Louis, pray for us!

Sincerely yours in Jesus,

Fr. John Seper
