The theme for his year’s Annual Catholic Appeal’s is Together we bring
light. This theme is rooted in the gospels, and it speaks to deep needs in our
world. Our world is often shrouded in darkness, clearly the darkness of
war, violence, poverty and hunger but also the darkness of sin and ignorance
of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As we begin this new year of religious education, please keep our catechists and their students in your prayers. Pray that the Holy Spirit guides them, gives them joy and patience, and helps them be a reflection of Christ to every child they encounter.
