Heavenly Father, through Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, all things are possible, and without Him we can do nothing. May we seek Your kingdom above all, knowing that all things work  together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.

Grant us that we, united through Your Son in one faith and by the strength of the Holy Spirit, may be generous in our support of the Beacon of Faith Campaign, which seeks to strengthen parish life in the four counties of our diocese.

All this we pray through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Dear parishioners,
I want to invite every one of you to join me in supporting our Beacon of Faith campaign by:

‣ Praying for the success of this effort.
‣ Being a positive ambassador.
‣ Help our parish reach 100% participation by
becoming a supporter.

Thanks for all you do for your parish!

Fr. Jonathan Reardon
Pastor

Bishop William D. Byrne is inviting every Catholic of our diocese to participate
in this campaign to raise $28 million.

Fifty percent (50%) of every dollar raised up to our goal of $688,239 will stay in
our parish to help with our own local needs. Seventy-five percent (75%) of all
funds raised above and beyond our goal will remain at our parish.
The diocesan portion will be used to fund the following key areas.
• Supporting local parish needs
• Caring for our Retired Priests
• Supporting Catholic Education
• Parish-based Evangelization, Seminarian and Leadership
Development
• Renovations to Camp Holy Cross
• Supporting our Annual Catholic Appeal for 2024

Please mark your calendars!
It’s vital that each of us learn about Beacon of Faith and the important impact it
will have on our parish. To help us all learn about this historic campaign; we
