Greetings, Friends. It is good to be with you.
This year’s Catholic Appeal theme is (click link to watch video >): Together We Are One.
It is a reminder of our communion in the Lord Jesus Christ and our call to be united as the Body of Christ. Our diverse and complex Archdiocese is a family of faith with a shared mission to spread the Gospel.
Here in the Archdiocese of Boston, people are deepening their faith, rediscovering prayer, and returning to the sacraments with curiosity and hope. This quiet but unmistakable renewal is both encouraging and exciting.
Your support of the Catholic Appeal sustains parish life: fosters vocations, forms the faith in our young people and adults, supports our Catholic schools, provides outreach to the most vulnerable, and more. With your prayers, your generosity, and your partnership, the Catholic Appeal empowers your parish and so many others to flourish in faith.
Your generosity continues to humble and inspire me, and it is a great blessing to minister here. Together, we are co-workers with the Lord, participating in His work of healing and reconciliation for the world. Together We Are One.
In Christ,
Archbishop Richard G. Henning
Archbishop of Boston
