The 2014 Catholic Services Appeal
Thank you for filling out a Catholic
Services Appeal Envelope. For
those who did not fill one out, please
do so. No gift is too small, and our
parishes are trying to reach 100%
participation. There are many
challenges that face us today. The
shortage of priests is one such challenge. The
responsibility our parishes have to help provide
diocesan services and ministries such as support
for vocations and the education of seminarians is
an answer to that challenge.

Next Sunday, World Mission Sunday, Catholics of the
world unite at Mass to recommit ourselves to our
vocation, through Baptism, to be missionaries. The
Church’s missionary activity begins with the proclamation
of faith:”Jesus is Lord!” He is our common hope—a hope
that saves. On World Mission Sunday, we are called in a
special way to be missionaries through prayer and
participation in the Eucharist, and by giving generously
to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of
the Faith. As we pray and respond on World Mission
Sunday here at home, we are
sharing in those celebrations
taking place in every parish,
seminary, school and convent
all over the world. In a world
where so much divides us,
World Mission Sunday rejoices
in our unity as missionaries!
And it provides an opportunity
to support the life-giving
presence of the Church among
the poor and suffering in more
that 1,150 mission dioceses.
We will take up a second collection at all cluster Masses
next weekend. Thank you for your generosity!!
