Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, “New Year Blessings! Next weekend’s second collection
will support the ongoing Respect Life efforts in the Diocese of Ogdensburg. Last year, we were
able to fund twenty-seven grants totaling over $82,000 to help build a culture of life in the North
Country. This was a significant increase from the previous year’s appeal. Those receiving grants
supported important local Pro-Life efforts such as the Gabriel Projects in Gouverneur, Potsdam,
Brasher Falls, Massena, Plattsburgh and Canton . These parish-based crisis pregnancy
apostolates provide spiritual and material help to single mothers and families. Also receiving
grants: Malone Catholic Charities’ counseling services; Plattsburgh’s Birthright which supports
women in distress with an unplanned pregnancy, offering alternatives to abortion and free
pregnancy tests; and Carthage’s Brook Haven House, a Christian home for unwed moms. These
grants also supported education efforts such as: funding for five buses for the March for Life in
Washington, DC (three buses transporting 150 youths and two ‘family’ buses for 100 marchers);
a Pro-Life media campaign; and a USCCB Respect Life Month informational packet for pastors.
The End of Life Issues Conference led by Fr. Tad Pacholczyk at Wadhams Hall, was also a
recipient. Liferight of Watertown, Lewis County Right to Life and the St. John XXIII Newman
Center received grants for education materials. The Diocesan Offices of Evangelization and
Natural Family Planning were able to provide informational materials purchased through grants
made available by this collection. With much appreciation for your past contributions, I seek
your generous response to this year’s Respect Life Appeal. As you see, your generous response
last year has enabled us to promote and support, in various ways, efforts that build up a culture of
life in our North Country. God bless you for your continued assistance. Gratefully yours in
Christ, Most Rev. Terry LaValley, Bishop of Ogdensburg.”
THE SECOND COLLECTION next week will be for Respect Life. Each of us is a
Masterpiece of God’s creation. Imagine yourself pausing in front of a design of great beauty.
Your soul quiets and is filled with wonder and awe. If art, created by man, can evoke such a
response within us, how much more is the same wonder, reverence and respect due to each
person we encounter, who was handcrafted by the very God who spoke the world into being?
Now think of an artist stepping back from a great work of art and admiring his or her creation.
When God created each of us, He did so with precision and purpose, and He looks on each of us
with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. Moreover, the Lord invites each of
us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe. No matter how the world
might view us or others, let us treat each person as the masterpiece he or she is. “Even the
weakest, and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of
God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of the utmost
reverence and respect.”
Pope Francis’ Day for Life Greeting.
