2023 Diocesan Catholic Appeal

May 30, 2023The 2023 Diocesan CATHOLIC APPEAL:
Today, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to his Apostles. As he breathes on them, the breath of God fills their lungs. Their breath now carries His authority to speak forgiveness or retention of sins.
What a gift He gave our priests! In our Baptism and Confirmation, Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit. Wisdom, Knowledge, Counsel, Fortitude, Understanding, Piety, and Fear of the Lord go with those who walk in His name.Today, we ask you to step out boldly to bless our parish by promoting our Catholic Appeal. Jesus doesn’t allow his soldiers to go into battle unarmed. “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves” (Matthew 10:16). Well, His sheep have the almighty God with them. We can be bold for Him, knowing He won’t leave us orphans. Our parish has many gifts to offer souls who are hungry to know Jesus. These gifts live in you, given first by God. You have an opportunity to bless His heart by making a generous return through our Catholic Appeal.
