The 2009 Bishop's Appeal of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany New York

Home Ways to Donate Appeal Stories Where Your Dollars Go Invite to Join Multi-Media Parish Resources

This year we mark the 55th anniversary of our annual Bishop’s Appeal. The Bishop’s Appeal is the financial lifeline that sustains the vital services and programs which the Church provides to improve the lives of people living in our communities and parishes throughout the 14 counties of our Diocese.

It is now ever more important and meaningful to remember that in these challenging times for our Church, our nation and our world, we are God’s people and that the work we do in the name of the Lord must not diminish, but increase. In times good and bad, families come together. It is my hope and prayer that our greater Diocesan family will come together in faith and in love to ensure that, in spite of the hardships and pitfalls placed before us, the work of Jesus will carry on.

Please give as generously as you can to the 2009 Bishop’s Appeal.

Howard J. Hubbard, D.D. Bishop of Albany

 
 
 
 
 

All loving God,
You have graced us, your people,
with every good gift.
We ask further for the gift of generosity.
Open our hearts and our hands
to those among us in need,
knowing that when we do so
we use our gifts as you desire them
to be used:
In service to our brothers and sisters
In the human family.
Amen.
