We are followers of Jesus Christ living in joyful, loving fellowship within his Catholic Church through the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter.
Dear faithful and friends of the Fellowship of St. Alban,
We have come to the start of the 2018 Bishop's Appeal Campaign. The Bishop's Appeal helps to support the immediate needs and ministries of the Ordinariate. The is fund goes toward essential, Chancery-base services to Parishes across the U.S. and Canada.
25% goes to supporting Ordinariate Clergy and Vocations.
25% goes to the Office of Communications.
38% goes to Parish Development
12% offsets Bishop Lopes' travel to Ordinariate Parishes and other evangelization activites.
The total goal for the 2018 Bishop's Appeal is $253,125.00
I encourage you to read Bishop Lopes' letter to the faithful here.
Please prayerfully consider becoming a partner in the Ordinariate's ministry by donating electronically here (and make sure to mention St. Alban's in Rochester as the Ordinariate parish you support).
The most important sacrifice that you can make to help the Ordinariate is to begin with prayer. Please keep Bishop Lopes, the clergy of the Ordinariate, and the parishes of Ordinariate in your prayers.
We will start our parish campaign this Sunday, February 11th, where you can also pick up an envelop and prayerfully consider a donation at your leisure.
God bless you for your prayers and your financial sacrifice for the building up of God's kingdom."
Peace,
Fr. Evan Simington
