THE 2012 CATHOLIC MINISTRIESANNUAL APPEAL IS UNDERWAY
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT H AND (MARK 1:15)The 2012 Catholic
Ministries Annual Appeal begins with a
mailing that many of our parishioners have received or will
soonreceive. This is a mailing from Bishop Conlon asking for a
pledgeto the 2012 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal.
The Appeal not only funds many of the operations of the
dio-cese, it funds services that are of great help to the
ministries herein our parish. Such as the Catholic Schools Office,
Center forFamily Ministry, Council of Catholic Women, and Life
Office.
This year, the theme of the Appeal is The Kingdom of God isat
Hand. We are challenged as Catholics to build up Gods king-dom here
on earth. Your contribution to the CMAA enables thediocese to
uphold the Gospel message and build up the kingdomof God throughout
the seven-county area of the Joliet Diocese.
Please remember that God never forgets us. His grace is al-ways
there for us. One way that we can show our gratitude is byoffering
our generous financial support to our parish and to ourdiocese. The
gifts that we give enable ministries and services that
touch thousands of lives.Please answer Bishop Conlons request
and make a generous
pledge. All pledges can be paid in ten monthly
installments.Thank you in advance for your support.
