Once again its time for our Annual Bishop’s Appeal. Below is the announcement from the BAA office. I would
simply add my own appeal to your generosity and charity. It is often said that charity begins at home. Very true! The
appeal is for our diocese, our city, our families. There is no donation, no giving that is too small, too insignificant. All
charity is important. Please - do what you can. And may the good Lord shower His blessings upon you.
This weekend we kickoff the 2018 Bishop’s Annual Appeal (BAA). I am so grateful for your
continued generosity to this important diocesan fundraising initiative. The Bishop’s Annual Appeal funds the
annual budget that offers vital services like Catholic Charities, care for our retired and infirmed priests,
education of Seminarians, Catholic schools and support for our centers for special learning. I encourage you
to join me to make a difference in the lives of many people. Remember, every gift counts, no matter how
small. To make your gift, please return the pledge form that you will receiving in the mail or visit the
Appeal’s website at FaithHopeCharityGives.org.
