Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Every day, countless good works are happening in the Diocese of Sacramento because you support the Annual Catholic Appeal. Thanks to your heartfelt response last year, we can continue — with God’s grace — to be the living presence of Christ in our communities.
Last year, your generous sacrifices:
- Helped a network of dedicated Catholic social service agencies care for the ever-growing numbers of families overwhelmed with just surviving day to day.
- Helped families apply for tuition assistance so their children could have a Catholic education.
- Helped seminarians devote themselves fully to their studies as they prepare to serve as our priests.
- Helped parishes respond to a wide array of local community needs with their 25% share of Annual Appeal funds received.
There is so much good work yet to be done. Prayerfully consider joining me again in extending a helping hand and the love of Christ to thousands of our neighbors in need.
May God bless us in this worthwhile effort to build the kingdom of God here in the Diocese of Sacramento.
Respectfully,
+Jaime Soto
Bishop of Sacramento
