Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

OFFICE OF THE BISHOP
1790 POPPS FERRY ROAD
BILOXI, MS 39532-2118

When we look at the world today, there are so many people who are confused, lost, suffering, and in search of something that the world can never provide. There is a great need for us to share the Good News! In choosing to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to everyone, through our own personal and public witness of Christ, and then making the eternal life of our family, friends, and strangers our mission, we are following the Great Commission of Jesus.

Your generous support of the Catholic Sharing Appeal allows us, together as the Church of Christ, to share the love of God in a real and tangible way, to witness, and to begin to accompany our brothers and sisters in their own journey of discipleship in the Lord Jesus.

It is with God's grace and YOUR faith, prayers, and financial help that we are able to accomplish so much good in our diocese and I am most grateful! Your participation and support of the Catholic Sharing Appeal helps to educate and form seminarians for the priesthood and the Pennanent Diaconate, as well as care for our retired priests who continue to minister in our parishes and communities as well as for those who can no longer do so. Your participation in the appeal brings food, clothing and shelter to those in most need, as well as bring a great help to many people of all ages who come to know Christ more fully through our faith formation programs.

Your support of the appeal is a great sign of your faith in Christ and in the mission of His Church. I ask each parishioner in our great diocese to participate in this year's appeal. If you have never supported our annual appeal, I ask that this year you make a commitment to do so. Your gift, no matter the amount, combined with others truly does go a long way in bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to all in our diocese.
