Prayer for the Bishop's Annual Appeal

Lord God and Father, we are your people,
united in our love for you and for one another.

We thank You for the many gifts You have given to us and we welcome Your presence in our lives at all times.

We ask that You continue to draw us closer and to strengthen our resolve to assist those among us who are most in need.

Though we are many parts of the Diocese of Allentown,we are
One in the Spirit of Christ.

Through the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, allow us to come together to share our time, talent and treasure with those who need our assistance.

Let us grasp more fully that the help we extend to others is the most powerful expression of our gratitude to You, as well as a genuine testimony to our faith.

Through Your Son Jesus Christ, make our prayer to you one of faith, hope and charity for all God’s people.

AMEN
