DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST,
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. –Romans 8:28 I give thanks to the Lord for our ministry leaders serving our brothers and sisters throughout the diocese. Their commitment to the Lord’s work, coupled with your generosity, has allowed us to wholeheartedly support the 14 ministries funded by the Catholic Service Appeal (CSA). Last year, I asked for your support for the CSA and over 2,600 of you responded with unprecedented generosity. Your faith in our mission through Hope Rising has made this impact possible. I encourage you to take a moment to review this report which illustrates the profound difference your gifts have made. This statement highlights how your financial contributions have been carefully managed, ensuring that every dollar entrusted to the CSA directly supports our Catholic faith in action. The accompanying graphics provide a transparent overview of how your donations have been allocated, underscoring our dedication to being faithful stewards of your trust. As we look ahead, your ongoing partnership will be crucial. Our first 2025 CSA mailing will go out in January, and your continued support will be essential in sustaining these transformative ministries. Please keep those who serve and those who are served in your prayers. Together, as co-workers in the Lord’s vineyard, let us faithfully lift one another up in prayer. Sincerely yours in Christ,
Bishop Joseph R. Kopacz
