seven. He has dedicated Fatherless to "The Year For Priests"and will
be speaking at St. Catherine on Sunday,

2010 DPAA
In preparation for Commitment Weekend, please take the time to read
the insert that is enclosed in today’s bulletin.
As you learn more about DPAA ministries, reflect upon all the good that
has been accomplished throughout the history of the Appeal because of the
sacrifices and generosity of our Diocesan family.
Gifts to the Appeal translate into ministries that tirelessly serve
thousands of men, women, and children every day of the year.
Some of these ministries benefit you and your fellow Parishioners.
Some of them serve those you may never meet.
A pledge to the Appeal makes you an ambassador for Christ in love,
sacrifice and service. Next weekend,
during Mass, we will complete our DPAA pledge forms together.
Everything we do as Church is done to continue the mission of Christ
until the end of time. As we use our
gifts in service to one another, we do so in His name. Let us reach out in faith
and give generously to the 2010 DPAA.
MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER
for the 47th World Day of Prayer for Vocations,
25 April 2010
, Fourth Sunday of Easter.
“May this World Day once again offer many young people a precious
opportunity to reflect on their own vocation and to be faithful to it in
simplicity, trust and complete openness. May
the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, watch over each tiny seed of a vocation
in the hearts of those whom the Lord calls to follow him more closely, may she
help it to grow into a mature tree, bearing much good fruit for the Church and
for all humanity.” Pope
Benedict XVI
