We are blessed with talented priests and laity across the Diocese of Lincoln. I am especially thankful for the parish leadership given to the Joy of the Gospel campaign during Bloc 1 (January June, 2015, St. John s included). Our success is the result of priests and volunteers conducting visits, following up with parishioners, and working with the campaign office I d like to share an update on the campaign I m pleased to inform you we have raised over $43,000,000, leaving us less than $10, to reach our minimum goal of $53,000,000. I am very hopeful that we will reach our goal. If we are blessed to surpass $53,000,000, the Diocese of Lincoln will be even more capable of responding to our needs. Our $53,000,000 goal has always been a minimum threshold a surplus from Joy of the Gospel will help secure a more positive financial future. I appreciate the continued support of your parish and the Joy of the Gospel. I pray the Holy Spirit will continue to guide our efforts and inspire the hearts and the generosity of all our people.
