The Archbishop's Annual Appeal 2012
"Do everything for the glory of God…" (1 Cor.10:31)
The Archbishop’s Annual Appeal is now underway. Many of our parishioners have received a mailing from Archbishop Gregory asking for a pledge to the 2012 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal.
The Appeal not only funds the operations of the Archdiocese, it funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. For example, AAA funds support the education of our seminarians – such as Matt Dalrymple, one of our future priests; the Pro-Life Ministry and its educational and advocacy programs; support for our parish Religious Education programs; ministerial training for many of our parish ministries; and Retirement Care for our elderly priests.
This year, the theme of the Appeal is, “Do everything for the glory of God”. God gives us all that we have. As we contemplate His gifts to us, we should also reflect on our gratitude for these gifts. Your financial support for the work of our parish, of our Archdiocese and of the Church throughout the world is, in fact, one way to give Him glory and express your gratitude.
Please answer the Archbishop’s request and make a generous pledge. All pledges will be billed in ten monthly installments. Thank you in advance for your support.
Stewardship Prayer
Lord God,You alone are the source of every good gift, of the vast array of our universe, and the mystery of each human life. We praise you and we thank you for your great power and your tender, faithful love.
Everything we are and everything we have is your gift, and after having created us, you have given us into the keeping of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Fill our minds with His truth and our hearts with His love, that in His Spirit we may be bonded together into a community of faith, a parish family, a caring people.
In the Spirit of Jesus, we commit ourselves to be good stewards of the gifts entrusted to us, to share our time, our talent, our material gifts as an outward sign of the Treasure we hold in Jesus.
Amen.

The Prayer of the Faithful
"We are quite familiar with signed petitions. Whether with a knock on our house door, leaving the local mall, walking through downtown, or the frequent forwarded e-mails that fill our inboxes, we are asked for our signature to show our allegiance to a particular cause. I have to admit that I always have been cautious about signing my name to anything, since signing one’s name to a document is a powerful act. There is another kind of petition that I am not cautious about, and that is the petitions that are part of the Prayer of the Faithful..."
