Diocesan Annual Appeal

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.  Philippians 1: 3-7
Dear Friends in Christ, In the lines of St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we can feel the profound gratitude the apostle has for the faithful at Philippi. Like St. Paul, I want to express my love for you and assure you that I offer prayer for you each and every day. Please know that I am deeply grateful for all you do in your parishes, in your communities, in your homes, in this local church of the Diocese of Crookston. Last year I received hundreds of prayer requests through the Diocesan Annual Appeal. I am honored that so many entrusted their needs and hopes to my prayer petitions. Many asked that I pray for the return to the Catholic faith of loved ones, especially young adults. Indeed, we are celebrating the Year of Faith and it is a perfect time to invite people to draw closer to Christ Jesus and grow in faith. Our 2013 Diocesan Annual Appeal offers an excellent opportunity for us to become more deeply involved in the mission given us by Christ Jesus. Parish families just like you contribute to the good work funded by our DAA. Your continued support benefits our work for Vocations, Youth and Family Ministries, Faith Formation, Catholic Education, the work of the Tribunal and Safe Environment Offce, the New Evangelization and my own work as your Bishop. I sincerely thank you for your past support. I encourage each and every one of Christ’s faithful to be part of this year’s Diocesan Annual Appeal. Please be as generous as you can be. I am truly grateful for a gift of any amount. Please know that your gift will make a great difference in the ministries we serve. I invite you to use the DAA prayer request card you will receive in your mailing to let me know for what in particular you would like me to include in my daily prayer even if you cannot make a gift this year. Please pray for me as well. Sincerely, in the Name of the Lord Jesus,   Most Rev. Michael J. Hoeppner Bishop of Crookston
