Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I pray and hope you and your loved ones are safe and doing well as we move through these challenging times of the pandemic. Although the uncertainty of Covid-19 has impacted us in many ways – families, jobs, schools and our parishes – we can be certain of our faith and of the Good News of Jesus! In gratitude and hope, our Diocese continues to serve our parish and school communities throughout our region. From providing virtual religious formation courses, coordinating live-streamed Masses and online giving, and assisting to secure Paycheck Protection Program loans (PPP), we remain committed in providing specialized services and programs to strengthen the ministries of our entire Diocese. I am humbled and thankful for the generosity and sacrifice of our faithful community especially during these times. Our mission to serve and to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ continues. I am very grateful for your gift to the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal (BMA) 2020 – thank you! We need your kind support in 2021. The collective participation of all our parishioners is vital to the success of the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal.

I invite you to renew your support for the 2021 Bishop’s Ministry Appeal with a gift today! As we pray for a grace-filled future, let us move forward As One in faith and hope.
