Dear Parish Family,

      This year, the theme of the Appeal is “Shining the Light of Christ!” Can you imagine anything more precious? How did you feel when you were chosen to be on a team? Picked for a lead part in a play? Pretty special, I would imagine. Greater than anything you have or will ever be chosen for, God has chosen you to join Him and fulfill the plan He has uniquely created for you. How do we acknowledge God’s grace and show Him our gratitude? One way is to give back to God the gifts He shared with us. We can support our parish, our diocese and the Church throughout the world with gifts of time, talent and treasure. This year’s goal for Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish is $35,000 and this year's goal for Immaculate Conception Parish is $9,900. 

       Our annual appeal supports 30 ministries that shine Christ’s light throughout the diocese, especially on those most in need. Your gifts to the CMAA help the poor and vulnerable, form our future shepherds, and spread the faith through our Catholic schools, faith formation programs in parishes and programs for young adults.  The CMAA funds the mission and ministries of our diocese. It also funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. Please answer our bishop's request and make a generous pledge. Let’s welcome our new Bishop Ronald Hicks with a quick and generous response to the Appeal. Perhaps the mailing has already arrived to your home? Let’s all do what we can, as quickly as we can, and have another successful year.

       Let’s see if we can get many more parishioners to share the light of Christ, and to allow the Lord to use all of us to accomplish His will. To show His kindness and mercy to those around us. The Diocesan goal to support the many ministries of the work of the Church throughout the Diocese of Joliet is $8.2 million.  Thank you in advance for your support.
                                                                                                       God Bless All of You!
