On behalf of all who have benefitted fromCCSEM over the years, I express my deepest gratitude foryour generosity in providing the support and resources that are needed to undertake this great work of charity which we do together as a, local Church. As witnesses to Jesus entrusted with unleashing his Gospel, we have committed ourselves irrevocably to the work of giving witness to the power of God's mercy. Every Catholic is called to become a witness to God's everlasting mercy and thereby unleash the Gospel to everyone they meet. I am grateful that through the works of CCSEM, God's children can come to encounter our Merciful Father, to grow to trust in his loving providence, and to be formed and inspired to bring His message of mercy to their friendsand neighbors. With best wishes forall those involved in the work of CCSEM and asking God's continued blessing on all here, I remain Sincerely yours in Christ, The ost Reverend 1YJ1· v iguc;iuu Archbishop of DetroitA- � UNLEASH THE GOSPEL 12 State Street, Detroit, Michigan 482263 -1823 I 313-237-5800 I aod.org CATHOLIC FUNERAL & CEMETERY SERVICES Be at rest with the family of your faith HE IS RISEN!
