WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY – Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
World Communications Day 2017 – Sunday, May 28, 2017 is the 51st WCD celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church worldwide. The Message of Pope Francis is entitled “Fear not, for I am with you (Isaiah 43:5): Communicating Hope and Trust in our Time”. In 2017, World Communications Day will be celebrated on the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. In his Message, the Pope expresses his desire “to contribute to the search for an open and creative style of communication that never seeks to glamourize evil, but instead to concentrate on solutions and to inspire a positive and responsible approach on the part of its recipients.”
CELEBRATING THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION IN OUR DIOCESE
Many young people will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on the Solemnity of Pentecost. Young people in parishes and Catholic schools supported by their families and sponsors have been preparing to receive the sacrament through catechetical instructions and special projects that included apostolic service, reflections on the Mass, learning about the lives of saints and meeting with their pastors. May God bless these young people as they receive this third sacrament of initiation.
JUNE CAMPAIGN – PRIEST BENEFIT FUND
Give to those who have given a lifetime.
The purpose of the Priest Benefit Fund is to ensure that the retired and sick priests of the diocese receive financial benefits each month to supplement the federal pension and to provide a basic health insurance plan.
The Diocese supports priests in retirement or those on sick leave every month through your generosity.
Your help is needed to support the annual Diocesan Priest Benefit Fund collection during the month of June and to increase donations throughout the year. We also ask you to consider supporting the Priest Benefit Fund financially through your financial planning and/or the designation of your estate.
