Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Throughout our lives as Catholics, each of us is called through Baptism to a life of discipleship. By the grace of the Holy Spirit and the Sacraments, we are nourished, strengthened and ultimate-ly transformed. We have the ability to genuinely help transform the lives of others.

The Diocesan Services Appeal is your way of reaching out to support and sustain the mission and ministries of the Diocese.

Your gifts will be used for programs which affect our extensive and diverse Diocesan family: those less fortunate, those who need our helping hand in human needs, those who seek spiritual renewal through the embrace of Our Lord.

Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, reaches out to those in need, and reminds us to “Not only live and bear God’s love, but to bring His love to those in most need.” Let us too, with transformed hearts, express our faith in the way we live our lives.

This year, as we enter our 30th anniversary as a Diocese, I ask for your help in continuing God’s work by becoming spiritually engaged and giving generously.

Though we are many, we are one Church. As the family of Christ, we share a universal call to serve, and extend a hand of aid, compassion and friendship.

It is a joy to be with you, sharing Christ’s mission.

Let us continue transforming lives - for in giving, we too, are transformed.

With my deepest gratitude and every prayerful wish, I am

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito Bishop of Palm Beach
