     The 2016 Catholic Charities Annual Appeal actively begings in each parish this weekend. Please refer to the insert in this week’s bulletin which includes parish goal information and an overview of the importance of Catholic Charities in our communities.

     This year’s appeal theme is: Love Powers Our Mission. The love of Jesus powers our mission at Catholic Charities. With your help, we reach out to people who suffer from personal loss, disabilities, violence, hunger and poverty. As the People of God we are one human family, with a bond that enriches our society and provides grace to overcome every obstacle. We are called to carry out the teachings of Jesus Christ with mercy, charity, and thanksgiving. How will you respond?

     As in the past, the in-pew commitment process will take place next weekend, February 6-7. Those who have not received the mailing from Bishop Lennon, or have not had a chance to respond to it, will be asked to consider making a generous pledge to support the ministries and services provided by Catholic Charities. If you have received the mailing, please respond to it. There is a box on the in-pew envelope to indicate that you have responded by mail.

     I invite you to view the stories of inspiration and more information at www.catholiccommunity.org/2016Appeal.
