2024/2025 Annual Diocesan Appeal
“Together on Mission”
Commitment Weekend October 12/13, 2024

Last week you received a letter from Bishop Hanefeldt in the mail. This year’s appeal theme, “Together on Mission,” is very timely to our call as members of the body of Christ to come together and move the mission of our Church forward.

The Diocese of Grand Island covers over 42,000 square miles in Central and Western Nebraska. It includes nearly 70 parishes, 8 Catholic schools, and numerous apostolates. The Diocese helps move the mission of our Church forward by developing, implementing, and supporting services that reach thousands of people each year.

The Diocesan Appeal is not the same as our parish Weekly Offertory. The Offertory helps pay our parish utilities, insurance, staff salaries, etc. The Diocesan Appeal helps pay for the work of ministries that provide invaluable support to parishes like ours but also essential ministries throughout the Diocese that serve our youth, our young adults, our families, our seminarians, and our active and retired priests.

Our parish has always fostered a culture of stewardship and responded when needed. With this spirit of generosity, I am hoping you will respond to the call to be Together on Mission and prayerfully consider a gift. I join Bishop Hanefeldt in asking for 100% participation this year. Typically, only one in five households give to the annual Diocesan appeal. Imagine what we could accomplish if even five out every five households gave!

If you have already given through Bishop’s request letter you received in the mail, I thank you for your early support. If you have yet to contribute or didn’t receive an appeal request in the mail, please find the giving envelopes in your pew now.

I ask you to prayerfully consider, as I have, to give a generous gift. Every gift, no matter the size, helps move the mission of our Church forward in a spirit of unity.

Our goal this year is to increase participation and have approximately 1,400 households give to the appeal. I lift you all in my prayers of gratitude every day for your generosity and your faithfulness. On behalf of Bishop Hanefeldt and all those who benefit from your generosity, thank you for being “Together on Mission” with us.

Pescando con St. James

Campaña Diocesana Anual 2024/2025
“Juntos en la Misión” Fin de
semana de compromiso 12/13 de octubre de 2024

La semana pasada recibió por correo una carta del obispo Hanefeldt. El tema del llamamiento de este año, “Juntos en la misión”, es muy oportuno para nuestro llamado como miembros del cuerpo de Cristo a unirnos y hacer avanzar la misión de nuestra Iglesia.

La Diócesis de Grand Island cubre más de 42.000 millas cuadradas en el centro y oeste de Nebraska. Incluye cerca de 70 parroquias, 8 escuelas católicas y numerosos apostolados. La Diócesis ayuda a hacer avanzar la misión de nuestra Iglesia desarrollando, implementando y apoyando servicios que llegan a miles de personas cada año.

La Campaña Diocesana no es lo mismo que nuestro Ofertorio Semanal parroquial. El Ofertorio ayuda a pagar los servicios públicos, seguros, salarios del personal, etc. de nuestra parroquia. La Campaña Diocesana ayuda a pagar el trabajo de los ministerios que brindan un apoyo invaluable a parroquias como la nuestra, pero también a ministerios esenciales en toda la Diócesis que sirven a nuestros jóvenes, a nuestros jóvenes adultos, a nuestras familias, nuestros seminaristas y nuestros sacerdotes activos y jubilados.

Nuestra parroquia siempre ha fomentado una cultura de administración y respondió cuando fue necesario. Con este espíritu de generosidad, espero que respondan al llamado de estar Juntos en la Misión y consideren un regalo en oración. Me uno al obispo Hanefeldt para pedir una participación del 100% este año. Por lo general, sólo uno de cada cinco hogares contribuye a la campaña diocesana anual. ¡Imagínense lo que podríamos lograr si cinco de cada cinco hogares donaran!

Si ya ha donado a través de la carta de solicitud de Bishop que recibió por correo, le agradezco su apoyo temprano. Si aún no ha contribuido o no recibió una solicitud de apelación por correo, busque los sobres de donación en su banco ahora.

Les pido que consideren en oración, como lo he hecho yo, dar un regalo generoso. Cada donación, sin importar el tamaño, ayuda a hacer avanzar la misión de nuestra Iglesia en un espíritu de unidad.Nuestro objetivo este año es aumentar la participación y que los aproximadamente 1,400 hogares contribuyan a la campaña. Los elevo a todos en mis oraciones de gratitud cada día por su generosidad y su fidelidad. En nombre del obispo Hanefeldt y de todos aquellos que se benefician de su generosidad, gracias por estar “Juntos en la misión” con nosotros.
