3 Diocesan Lenten Appeal Thanking all those in our parish who have already made their commitment to the 2018 Diocesan Lenten Appeal. This weekend is Commitment Weekend during which we ask all parishioners, who have not yet made their gift, to give prayerful consideration in making their pledge. Support for the Appeal is a tangible way to place a share of our blessings at the service of others, especially those most in need. And, while we must be mindful of the responsibility to support our parish, we must also recognize that we are all partners in the greater Diocesan mission to serve the growing charitable, educational pastoral needs of our people. The theme for this year s Appeal is Love One Another with GREAT LOVE. The brochure that you received in the mail with your letter from Bishop Malesic highlights the theme as well as the diocesan parish ministries supported through this Appeal. If you have not yet made your commitment, please consider making it this week.
