Charity and Development Appeal

02-12-2023Letter from the PastorFr. Don Kline, V.F.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Like the early disciples, we too, are a faithful community that seeks to love the Lord with our whole hearts. We too are invited to be in close relationship with Jesus. We too have been called to a unique mission of bringing hope to the hopeless, comfort to the sorrowful, and love to the lost. Sharing your blessings, your gifts and talents, brings the light of Christ to those who have known much darkness.

Your generosity in past years has helped boost the Charity & Development Appeal to new heights. This year, the Diocese of Phoenix is hoping to offer nearly $9.9 million in grants to 70 organizations that help those in need throughout Arizona, including those that support women’s health and pregnancy services, homeless, veterans, unemployed, the elderly, and more. When you give to the Charity & Development Appeal, you support the work of these organizations that will help transform the lives of thousands of people. Together, we can put our faith into action. Together, we can do more than any one parish or person can do. Your love gives hope to so many!

The CDA provides Catholic-affiliated agencies the means to continue their missions, such as educating and forming future priests, providing for religious education and Catholic education for today’s youth, and adult faith formation through Kino Catechetical Institute, among other initiatives. Your gift, big or small, will make a difference in the lives of many people.

For those who have not yet made a pledge, please do so today! These programs and services reach beyond the boundaries of any one parish to all of our community. Support works of mercy in our Diocese. Make a pledge, fill out your donor card today or donate online at dphx.org/CDA, and be an instrument of God’s love and mercy through your gift to the CDA.

Consider reaching out to help bless the poor, hungry, downhearted and rejected. If you have not yet made your gift to the CDA, what is preventing you from being a part of this wonderful opportunity to help those in need?

With your gift to the CDA, you heed Our Lord’s call to be an instrument of God’s mercy. Thank you for your generous support.

God Bless,

Fr. Don Kline,
V.F. Pastor
