Loving and gracious God, we praise you and we thank
you for the bountiful gifts that you have given us.
You have called us to discipleship. Enkindle in our
hearts a desire to share your love with one another.
Stir us to embrace the Diocesan Services Appeal as a
way to put your Word into action through the good
works of our Holy Catholic Church.
Please bless our efforts that, together, we may bring
the Good News of Jesus Christ to all whom we encounter.
Amen
“Stir up one another to love and good works.” This scripture text is a call to discipleship. St. Paul urges us to action – to reflect the light of Christ in the love and good works that we offer others today.
DSA is one opportunity to exhibit discipleship, to participate personally in the many good works of our Church in communion with fellow Catholics. Our contributions are put to work, right away, in a multitude of ministries to offer direct assistance to individuals and families and to parishes, Catholic schools, and Catholic Charities agencies.
Our parish goal of $73,945 can be reached if each one of us shares a portion of the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. Please prayerfully consider how you or your family will respond to this call to carry on Christ’s work in our community.
