Pope Leo’s vision is not just inspiring, but it is a roadmap to the future of the Catholic Church. As with much of our dictate, we only need to look to Sacred Scripture for our charge: “Brothers and sisters:  You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22

We see so much hope in our parishes and through our parishioners.  While we cannot deny there are challenges, the strong partnership between them and the Diocese has a compelling impact on the dynamic efforts to bring our Catholic faith to life every day! Diocesan teams are behind the scenes but working shoulder to shoulder with your parish team. Making that possible are those actively committed to investing in parish offertory & the Diocesan Appeal leading the road toward transformation for today and the future of our greater Catholic Church. Won’t you join them?
