Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded of you. And behold I am with you always, until the end of the age.
This is our Catholic mandate as found in Matthew 28:19-20/New American Bible.
Hopefully, by now if you are a registered parishioner, you will have received my letter and Flocknote on the Catholic Appeal. So much good is done for those with so little be they individuals or communities or poor parishes by the funds from the appeal. Form is included later in this bulletin.
I also urge you to take advantage of the state income tax credit for Catholic Schools. Again those who are overwhelmingly near the poverty line or below it are who benefit from this.
