What would our community be without
Today the 2017 Annual Diocesan Appeal begins in our parish and
throughout the Diocese of Peoria. This is an opportunity to unite
with all Catholics in our Diocese to share our blessings and to
share God’s love with each other. Remembering that a gift to this
Appeal benefits both our parish and our Diocese, please give generously, as God has given to you.
“As they were marching out, they came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; this man they pressed into
service to carry his cross.” MATTHEW 27:32
The Lord calls us to love God and to love our neighbor. Every day we are presented with opportunities to
love our neighbor and help him “carry his cross,” These opportunities aren’t usually big events, they are
usually ordinary occurrences like helping someone carry their groceries or holding the door open for them.
The key is putting the other person’s needs before our own and not expecting anything in return.
