A Welcome Message from Bishop Caggiano
My Dear Friends,
I come to you with a joyful and grateful heart, for the Holy Spirit is working powerfully in our midst. Over the last few years, you have heard me say that we are in the work of renewal — of bringing new life, both individually to our own discipleship and collectively to our common life as a Church.
Well, now we're beginning to see the fruits of those efforts, and those fruits are growing. Our Mass attendance is up 22 percent in the last three years. We have more seminarians than we've had in 30 years … and much more.
This is the moment for us to continue to apply ourselves so we can do even more. For that, I need your help in supporting the ministries that are the foundation of our Church and in funding the new initiatives that are giving further and even greater life to our Church.
My friends, I urge you to open your heart and ask what it is that we can do as our next step in supporting what the Lord is doing. I am always grateful for your generosity, so please consider a sacrificial gift in support of the 2026 One in Christ Bishop’s Appeal, which will allow the renewal to continue to grow. Then, we can become the light to those around us, and to all people, who will see the light that you and I have found in Jesus Christ.
Thank you and please give generously so that we can continue the good work that God has begun with you and me.
Thank you and may God bless you.
