Diocese of Palm Beach 2019 Diocesan Services Appeal
My Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our Diocesan family is strong in faith, hope and love. We are part of the family that makes up the body of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church.
By virtue of our Baptism we have received Christ’s mission. By our participation in this mission, we transmit the joy of the Gospel and serve one another. Each one of us is asked to respond, as best we can, to Christ’s call. As a Diocesan family, we carry out this mission together in Faith Working Through Love.
As we journey forward together as missionary disciples, I ask your support for the 2019 DSA. The Diocesan Services Appeal is an essential way of reaching out to support and sustain the mission and ministries of our Diocese.
I want to assure you that your gift will be used solely to support the ministries, programs and services of the Diocesan Services Appeal listed in this brochure. No DSA gifts will be used for any other purpose.
Your generosity enables the Diocese to carry out the mission of Christ every day by bringing hope and ensuring that vital services continue, strengthening the work we share as a family of faith.
With my deepest gratitude and every prayerful wish, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito Bishop of Palm Beach
