The theme of the Bishop s Annual Appeal this year is Living the Gospel in Faith, Hope and Charity and encourages each of us to be willing to be the hope so many are desperately looking for. In sharing our material blessings, we will help to strengthen our ministries, educate our young people, support the vocations of those called to the Priesthood and married life and bring comfort to the ill and the lonely. Our Parish goal this year is $67,964 which I am confident we will reach with everyone s help. Every dollar that we raise over our Parish goal will be returned to our Parish to be used for the particular needs of our Parish. May God bless you and your loved ones. Sincerely in Christ, Msgr. Romano Ciotola
