My Dear Brothers and Sisters:

During the nearly four years that I have been privileged to serve as Archbishop, I have been truly amazed and gratified by the generous response from our Catholic family to the Annual Appeal. Last year more than 23,500 people stepped out in faith, answering the call to greater stewardship, having contributed a record $3,365,483! This unprecedented generosity stands as a long-lasting testament to your commitment to this most important campaign. Although we have accomplished much good through your loving gifts, more remains to be done. Your contributions will give hope to many who find themselves at a critical moment in their lives. In St. Paul's Letter to the Romans, he proclaimed, ". ..in hope we are saved.. ." (Rom 8:24). Together, clergy and laity, we must continue to deliver the gift of hope to those among us who are spiritually, materially, and educationally in need.
