Our Lady of Lourdes † Saint Anne A CLUSTER OF ROMAN CATHOLIC COMMUNITIES Our Mission: People of God, united in Christ, serving others, welcoming all to the Table of Life Sunday September 29, 2019
Dear Friends, Last year at this time we were starting our capital campaigns at Our Lady of Lourdes and at St. Anne. The Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) was included in the capital campaigns, so no one needed to make a separate donation to the CMA and we did not run a campaign for the CMA. As we stated last year, we were folding the CMA into the capital campaigns only last year. This year we are back to the familiar pattern of asking for your contribution to the CMA to support the services provided by the Diocese to the parishes, schools, Catholic Charities, and seminarians. Many people may wonder how the Diocese’s reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code will affect any donations made to the Diocese through the CMA. Will the money collected in the CMA be used to pay claims against the Diocese for sexual abuse or to pay attorneys’ fees? No, the Diocese publishes the list of services to be funded through the CMA and has always used the money raised only for those purposes. The list of allocations can be found at www.dor.org/ cma . Might the bankruptcy process use CMA donations as part of funding a settlement? A review of 18 Catholic dioceses Chapter 11 proceedings by Penn State University law professor Marie Reilly indicates that so far this has not happened in any of the cases. (Prof. Reilly has been quoted by the Democrat & Chronicle in articles about our Diocese’s Chapter 11 filing.) (Rochester is the 20th diocese to file Chapter 11.) I cannot give an absolute guarantee, yet I am reasonably assured by everything that I read and hear that our CMA contributions will be used only for the purposes the Diocese has published. If you have given to the CMA in the past 6 years, you will receive your personal pledge card in U.S. postal mail during the week of October 15th. If you do not receive a pledge card in the mail, we will have pledge cards available at church. Grace and peace, Fr. Gary Tyman

Racism arises when—either consciously or unconsciously— a person holds that his or her own race or ethnicity is superior, and therefore judges persons of other races or Important ethnicities as inferior and unworthy of equal regard. . . . Racism occurs because a person ignores the fundamental Meeting Required by truth that, because all humans share a common origin, they are all brothers and sisters, all equally made in the image of the Diocese God. . . . “Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in for all Ushers and him” (1 Jn 3:15).

Where is the weekly offertory report? We have moved to reporting the offertory on a monthly basis in order to provide more accuracy.
Often, donations arrive during the weekdays for the previous or future weekend and it skews the bulletin report from the actual accounting reports.
To eliminate this misperception and provide the clearest financial picture, we will report monthly the previous month’s collections on the first Sunday of a full week in a month. (Above is our report for July.) Presiders /Preachers for Oct 5th/6th Included will be a comparison of monthly collections against our St. Anne Our Lady Lourdes operating budget. Additionally, we will include Capital Campaign donations for the month, separated in its own report too. of
