This weekend we welcome Sr. Lucia Benedict for our annual Archdiocesan Missionary Appeal. While our Commitment to Parish Like means what we do within our parish it also means what we do within our universal church and in our daily lives within our communities. You have been very supportive of all of our efforts during Covid. I am glad so many families are taking time away to spend in a recreational atmosphere with the family. The bonds between parent and children is critical to help them grow with a sense of commitment but also deeper relationship. The care that a parent shows helps children how to care for others in fun as well as in teamwork. The bond within a faith family also grows because we truly see ourselves as a “family” of believers who minister to and care for one another. Thank you for welcoming Sister to our faith family. I ask you to be as generous as you can to this religious order’s missionary work.
