"TOGETHER IN MISSION"
Part of being a disciple of Christ, is to take a stand in solidarity with those who serve the-poorest-of-the-poor in our Archdiocese. We cannot allow ourselves to reason why these sisters and brothers may be poor. Nor can we ignore their needs. Rather, we need to stand in support with them in their needs.
"Together in Mission" is the Archdiocesan ministry that allows this to happen. Today our poorest parishes have "real needs" that are not being met. It is estimated that it would take $128,000,000.00 today to make all the necessary repairs and do the retrofitting needed in these parishes and parish schools. That does not include helping them meet their daily operating expenses that amounts to more than $11,000,000.00 annually.
If you have not yet made your Pledge Commitment, please prayerfully consider giving a little more than you have over the past years. We all need to come to a real awareness of the burdens and the genuine needs that exist in our poorest parishes. We all need to understand that our Baptismal Calling impels us to share with those who are less fortunate. Let us dig deeply this year and try our best to help this worthwhile ministry, "Together in Mission."
