THE LORD SUSTAINS HIS PEOPLE The 2013 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal begins with a mailing that many of our parishioners have received or will soon receive. This year, the theme of the Appeal is The Lord Sustains His People. The Lord sustains each of us in many ways. His life, death and resurrection were all gifts to each of us. He gives us all that we have. He gave us our Church. That Church, through our parish, our diocese, and throughout the world offers us not only spiritual but many other forms of sustenance.
The word of God provides instruction, challenge, and promise for all who believe. As we receive God's word, we must be open to all that it holds for us. We are called to rejoice that we possess God's word, follow it, and have it fulfilled in our lives. We respond through our gifts of Time, Talent, and Treasure.
