cover that God is close to us, that He dispels our darkness

and, with great love, leads our lives into deep waters. @Pontifex

Come, follow me…and heal our world On February 15 and 16, our parish will conduct the Annual Catholic Appeal In-Pew Commitment Weekend. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much dif-

ferent than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The Annual Catholic Appeal theme, “Come, Follow Me…and heal our world,” calls us to share in Jesus’ mission to bring healing and transformation to our fragile and wounded world. By supporting the Appeal, you join hands with other Catholics in the Archdiocese and reach out with healing to par-ishes and Catholic schools in need, religious education programs, ministry formation and initiatives to address violence and to foster justice, peace, and respect for life. Our helping hands through the Appeal also reach out on a global scale to support Catholic Relief Services. Each pledge makes a difference! Thank you for your prayerful consider-ation and generous response.
