As Jesus accompanies us on our journey to whichever town or circumstance our life is headed, the Risen Christ reveals himself to us on the pilgrimage and in the Eucharist. Jesus then invites us to return to our true home, the Heavenly Jerusalem, where we will share stories of resurrection life. The Risen Christ now sends us to announce the Good News of salvation to the ends of the earth.
One significant way we offer testimony to resurrection life is through our support of the Annual Catholic Appeal. It is in our love for the poor that our faith witness is most powerful. The Annual Catholic Appeal has generously assisted our parish in our work with the poor through the years; it is a beautiful example of how our generosity is multiplied by God's grace.
Please prayerfully consider making a contribution to the Annual Catholic Appeal or increasing your gift this year. As we prepare to join with our brothers and sisters at St. Stephen Protomartyr and Immaculate Heart of Mary parishes, our working together for the success of the Annual Catholic Appeal can be a first step in our journey together as disciples, on the Way.
Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
