Pornography has become pervasive in our WHY CONDUCT THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IN THE DIOCESE? There exist urgent financial needs with regard to Catholic education, funding the formation of our seminarians and supporting our priests in retirement. The diocese recognized an opportunity to address these key areas at once while providing support for new evangelization initiatives and an outlet for parishes to raise funds for local needs. Prior experience has shown us that more can be accomplished by running one comprehensive campaign than many mini-campaigns over a number of years. In an effort to stay ahead of impending financial challenges, the diocese recognized the need to make immediate changes in the way certain ministries are funded. A campaign like Joy of the Gospel provides a platform of support for that transition. Much as they were nearly 15 years ago in the last diocesan-wide fundraising effort – Crossing the Threshold – resources committed to Joy of the Gospel will help us prepare for and stay ahead of future challenges. As the campaign seeks to enhance the life of every Catholic in the diocese, it is indeed right that we all be asked to consider our support of the project. In fact, a number of families at our parish have already made their commitments to the Joy of the Gospel and I wish to thank them for their support. Still others have received calls from fellow parishioners asking for a few minutes to visit regarding the campaign. I thank you in advance for accepting them into you home for a visit to discuss the campaign in further detail. Volunteers are: Kathi and Dennis Wells, Linda and Stephen Schmit, John and Patty Zarybnicky, Don Ferneding, Tim Graff, Correne and Barry Adams Monica Breitinger, John Langley & Wally Valasek
