Act Of Faith
Rooted In Love & Compassion All the way back to our earliest years as a child we are taught to share with others, especially those less fortunate. When we share, we give up what we believe to be control in our lives. We put our faith in God that He will provide for our needs in abundance. Through your financial commitment, you are allowing God to work through you for the benefit of others. Your gift to the Order is an expression of love and compassion for countess lives and most importantly … it is an act of Faith. |
A Sacrifice
Immeasurable In Its Capacity To sacrifice for one another is to love. Deciding to “do without” for the benefit of someone you don’t know is the beginning of a true sacrifice. Your sacrifice helps a struggling family send their children to camp enabling them to experience God's world if only for a few days. It provides reassurance to a new parish, that it can meet its monthly financial obligations and continue its ministry. As a member of the Order you may consider your sacrifice to be small, but it is immeasurable in its capacity to change people’s lives. |
Infinite In Its Effect
Making A Difference Together Your annual gift, less than the cost of your daily cup of coffee, is merely a drop of water in a vast ocean of need. However, the ripple from your gift never ends. It expands to enrich the lives of our youth by strengthening their hearts and minds as future leaders of the Faith. It multiplies to help care for our retired clergy and our devoted seminarians. The ripple from your annual or lifetime gift touches the lives of so many that you would never have been able to reach alone. |
