Serving Christ Among Us. The Eucharist is the summit and source of the Church’s life (Lumen Gentium, 11). At the last Supper, Jesus not only gave us this great gift, but he instituted the priesthood so that, in every age and in every place, the Eucharist could be celebrated. The Bishop’s Annual Appeal helps fund the education of our seminarians. With the blessing of increased vocations to the priesthood in our Diocese, comes the obligation to prepare these men who will one day serve our parishes. Your participation in the Appeal helps to make that happen. Please make a pledge to the 2015 Bishop’s Annual Appeal today! For your convenience, you can make an online gift at www.2015appeal.org
