Collection for Church in Africa Dear friends in the Lord:

The people of Africa are joyous and faith-filled, but they also often face challenges due to poverty, the high incidence

of disease, food shortages, and migration. The Church in Africa journeys with people gifted with a vibrant spirituality and is a

source of hope and faith. The Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa supports pastoral projects that foster lasting peace and

reconciliation in a continent often marked by division and tension. Pope Francis challenges us: “Touched by Christ’s infinite

mercy, may all the faithful be signs of the reconciliation, justice and peace that God wills for… all of Africa” (April 16, 2015).

With so many people in Africa on the move, providing pastoral care to meet their spiritual needs is often difficult. In

Angola, this is true for migrant and refugee communities, as well as for people whose livelihoods keep them moving, such as

fishermen and truck drivers. Creating fellowship among various groups, ethnicities, and tribes is crucially important in order to

avoid tribalism, discrimination, and racial violence.

To address these needs and foster growth in the communities, and with a grant from The Solidarity Fund for the

Church in Africa, the bishops are providing training and formation for lay leaders in every diocese. These leaders attend

seminars and workshops that equip them to return to their communities to welcome immigrants and help them find a home in

local parish communities. After attending a seminar, one participant expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for yet another

moment of grace.”

With your help, the Church in Africa can continue to play an active role in the evangelization of the world. Projects like

this one care for the spiritual needs of the African people, allowing Africans to continue giving the world their vibrant expression

of faith. Next Sunday, please give generously to the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa.

With prayerful best wishes, I am,

Faithfully in Christ,

Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan

Archbishop of New York
