FOR THE FAITHFUL. . .

This year, your Greco Institute celebrates 15 years of providing quality adult education to the faithful of our area. Because of your Appeal support, Greco courses are made available free of charge, (materials excluded) and can be taught at any location throughout our diocese. With Appeal funding in 2001, Greco Institute will broaden an already wide variety of classes, seminars, and special educational programs.

The Catholic Connection

This year, Appeal funding will provide 11 issues of this unique monthly magazine to every registered Catholic household. Because your Appeal provides complete support for this publication, it will continue to be offered to the faithful with no subscription fee. In this, the tenth year of publication of The Catholic Connection, it will continue to serve as the prime source of communication from our bishop to the faithful of this region, while providing its readership with fresh, insightful coverage of our universal faith and the Catholic Church in this region.

Continuing Clergy Education/Formation

Area clergy can continue to rely on our Appeal to offer substantial opportunities to build and improve upon their commitment to ordained ministry. This includes Appeal support of advanced clergy education in theology, canon law, a variety of retreats, seminars, and conferences that are designed specifically to assist our active priests with their vocation to serve the people of the Church.
