Beloved in Christ,

With sincere gratitude to God and heartfelt appreciation for your generosity, I wish to thank all who participated as Distinguished Diocesan Benefactors in 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, through your faithful stewardship and sacrificial giving, our Diocese received $269,946.00, reaching 115% of our goal. This remarkable outcome is a powerful witness to your love for the Church and your commitment to her life and mission.

Your generosity strengthens our parishes, supports the education of seminarians, sustains youth and educational ministries, and enables the Diocese to continue its pastoral, missionary, and administrative work in service to the Gospel. Exceeding this year’s goal is not merely a financial accomplishment, but an expression of faith in action, offered freely for the good of the Church.

I offer my sincere thanks to each of you who gave, prayed, and supported this vital work. May the Lord reward your generosity abundantly and grant you and your families His continued blessings.
