Around The Diocese For 11-22-13

Thinking of those in need

“As we approach the ‘harvest’ of good things and ‘abundance’ of sharing, our thoughts and requests are for the many who may be in need,” writes Father Erbacher, pastor at the four Martin County parishes.

“I will again ask of everyone to join in a generous and prayerful response to those in need of our help and support. Everyone is sincerely asked to respond in his/her own way in what they can do with the sharing of gifts Our Dear Lord has blessed each with.

“God bless you in your generosity!”
