EDUCATE SEMINARIANS FROM MISSISSIPPI Seminarians like Nick
Adam (page 36) and others in the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, are eager to bring the sacraments to the faithful. Vocations to the priesthood have been growing in many nancially struggling mis- sion dioceses. Help support the education of our future genera- tion of priests.
CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEW “MERCY FUND”
Follow Archbishop Joseph
Kurtz’s example (page 35) and make it a special priority during this Year of Mercy to support the Church’s pastoral outreach and spiritual care to the poor, dis- placed and vulnerable. rough this new fund, your donations will provide much needed help to 10 poor dioceses.
HELP REPAIR A HISTORIC RURAL CHURCH
In the Diocese of Savan-
nah, Georgia, Nativity of Our Lady Church in Darien (page 9), built
in 1945, serves as a signi cant Catholic beacon
in rural south- eastern Georgia and needs assistance
to repair stained glass windows in its sanctuary. Many other church buildings in mission dioceses also need funds for restoration.
