OFFICE OF THE CARDINAL 1011 FIRST AVENUE NEW YORK, NY 10022 July 5-6, 2014
Dear friends in the Lord: By virtue of our baptism into Christ Jesus, we are all missionaries,
beginning with our own families and parishes. Like the apostles, we are encouraged to reach out to our brothers and sisters in faith, love, and sacrifice. We must do our best to continue to build the Lord’s kingdom in our world.
We invite you to help build our mission to the missions by supporting the 2014 Black and Indian Mission Collection!
Your support will provide the presence of missionaries here in African American, Native American, and Alaska Native missions, schools, and religious education programs. Your participation places bibles and catechetical materials in the hands of priests, consecratedwomen and men, and lay leaders in Black Catholic communities in the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi; in Native American pueblos in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, New Mexico; in the far reaching villages of Alaska; and in so many other places. Your sacrifice addresses the need to train catechists, permanent deacons, and seminarians for future generations in many of our neighborhoods and backyards.
Pope Francis reminds us in Lumen Fidei (51), “Faith helps us build our societies in such a way that they can journey towards a future of hope.” Your prayer needs to be constant as, together, we join our hearts and hands, always serving these communities in imitation of Christ’s love.
In solidarity with our Holy Father and with each other: “The hands of faith are raised up to heaven, even as they go about building in charity a city based on relationships in which the love of God is laid as a foundation.” (Lumen Fidei, 51).
Thank you, in advance, for your generous support of the Black and Indian Mission Collection. It makes a difference.
With gratitude and prayerful best wishes, I am, Faithfully in Christ, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan Archbishop of New York
The Collection will be taken up on July 5-6, 2014.
