Each one of us is called through our common Baptism, to be a light to the world and do our share in implementing the victory Jesus won on the Cross. While we cannot always be the one to comfort the grieving, bring hope to the socially oppressed, teach the young and reach out to those in need, we can—through our generosity—ensure that our Diocesan Church is strong and vibrant so that it is able to meet the needs of so many in the year ahead. Your generous gifts given in His name will give praise to the Heavenly Father and make you a co-worker in his sanctifying and redemptive works.
