St. Padre Pio was born in 1887 in Pietrelcina, Italy, and was an Italian priest,  known for his charity and love for the people around him.  He bore the wounds of Christ, which is still something that cannot be explained.  In August of 1918, he began experiencing a painful stigmata that eventually remained permanent for the next 50 years and disappeared, miraculously, a few days before his death in September 1968.  St. Padre Pio welcomed the pain for all of mankind, and was canonized  on June 16, 2002 by Pope John Paul II. 

We hope you can join us in prayer each month!

On-going areas of discussion will include education, outreach, public policy and prayer, all focused on the restoration of respect for human life as an essential task of the Church.  We will work closely with our Diocesan coordinator and be a part of the work of our Diocesan Office of Human Life and Dignity.  It is our duty as Catholics to respect all human life, help promote public awareness, promote laws that defend and protect life, and endorse programs of prayer so that the culture of death will be replaced with a culture of life.  Come and join the work of this critical ministry!

2020 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
Stepping Forward in Faith: Grace in Action

February 15/16, 2020

 
Please watch your mailbox for a letter from Bishop Checchio coming to you this week announcing the  2020 Bishop’s Annual Appeal, which will, again, be conducted during Lent.  Through your support of the BAA, you help those in our diocese whose needs are the greatest – the poor, the homeless, and those struggling with illness or grief.  Thanks to extraordinary efforts, we exceeded last year’s Bishop Annual Appeal goal, so funding was able to be provided for many critical ministries and charities. 

 
Transparency and accountability are always a priority, but this year, it is especially important to reassure all parishioners that their gifts to the Bishop Annual Appeal are being used exclusively for the ministries outlined in the Appeal materials.  The Appeal money is restricted to vital needs such as the formation of our seminarians and deacons, outreach to our youth and young adults, and programs to assist couples through marriage preparation.  Additionally, our ongoing efforts in evangelization and catechesis, advocacy for human life and dignity, and effectively ministering to people of varied ethnicities and languages, all depend on the generosity of our people.  Lastly, revenue has been earmarked for our Catholic Charities which is dedicated to providing basic needs and counseling services for those struggling with the hardships of life.

May God bless you all for your generosity to the 2020 Bishop Annual Appeal
