2020 Archbishop's Appeal The 2020 Archbishop's Appeal has begun. This year, we are called to Accompany with Joy, Give with Grace. To accompany is the willingness to listen deeply to others' experiences, needs, joys, and hardships. The Annual Appeal is our response to imitate Christ by offering love to His people through ministry. Today, we ask for you to reflect on how you've used and shared your gifts to help further His mission and love His people. Consider these questions... 1. What are my blessings? 2. How have God's blessings transformed my life and relationship with Him? 3. Am I willing to give selflessly so others may encounter Christ's love? We ask for you to pray and find it in your heart to accompany our brothers and sisters. This means that you live as a caretaker of God's gifts, not an owner, sharing with others for His glory. Our 2020 Archbishop's Appeal parish goal is $154,976.45. Please be on the lookout for a letter arriving at your home from Archbishop Gustavo inviting you to participation in the 2020 Appeal. Your support puts our faith in action through works of mercy and compassion. Thank you for your faithfulness, and may God bless you and your loved ones.
