Welcome

In these difficult times we are challenged to look beyond our own needs and care for those less fortunate.  For this reason, I am asking for your prayers and support of our 2009 Bishop's Appeal for Catholic Charities and Church.

Your generous response will allow Catholic Charities to continue serving the growing number of our friends and neighbors in need.  There has been a 35% increase in the number of people requesting help!  In addition, your assistance will support diocesan ministries that enhance the spiritual life of our Church.

You can make a difference in your life and the lives of others by Sharing the Love of Christ through your support of our 2009 Bishop's Appeal.

Faithfully yours in Christ,

Most Reverend George V. Murry, S.J.
Bishop of Youngstown
