Re: 2016 Mission Appeal

Dear Father Travers:

Thank you very much for your hospitality to a member of the Marist Foreign Missions on the weekend of 5/22/2016 when he visited Holy Child Church and made an appeal on behalf of The Society as part of Mission Cooperative “2016”.

Thank you also for the check in the amount of $4,080.00, representing the sacrifices of your good people in response to the appeal. Please convey to them our deep apprecia-tion and assure them of a place in the prayers and good works of the missionaries throughout the world.

With every personal and prayerful best wish, I am

Sincerely,

Angela Torres

Mission Coordinator

A Reminder

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion. Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Please remember to pray daily for your Spiritually Adopted Baby and the baby’s mother and father. During your earthly life this spiritually adopted child of yours will be known only to God but in the world to come it is hoped that you will meet the child whose life was spared by your prayers and spend eternal happiness with them.

MONTH 5

I am 5 months old now. I’m 12 inches long and I weigh about one pound. I’m really getting big and mommy can now feel me kick and move around! Hey! Someday maybe I’ll play soccer! Keep praying for me….

Dear Father Travers,

Congratulations to you and Holy Child Parish on surpassing your 2016 Cardinal's Annual

Stewardship Appeal goal! Thank you for your dedication to this important effort, which as you

know, impacts the lives of so many of our brothers and sisters in faith and need.

Please know how deeply grateful I am for your commitment to your parish and archdi-

ocese. The Cardinal's Appeal helps to fulfill our responsibility to spread the Good News and

mission of Jesus Christ and our Church. Because of your hard work, the countless "thank

yous" I receive while travelling throughout our archdiocese belong to you.

With renewed gratitude and prayerful best wishes, remain

Fraternally in Christ,

Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan
