Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

We, as a community of faith, the Catholic Diocese of Dallas, have much to celebrate thanks to you!

Through your selfless and abiding generosity, the programs and ministries that rely upon the Bishop’s Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries for essential operating support continue to sustain the healing, teaching and redemptive presence of Jesus Christ throughout the nine counties of our diocese.

For your continued generosity, you have my deepest gratitude. It is in that spirit of humble appreciation that I am pleased to present our mission impact report for the 2012 Bishop’s Annual Appeal.

Fully aware of our great responsibility to be effective stewards of your generosity, I would invite you to review how those funds received in support of last year’s annual appeal were allocated to the various ministries and programs of your diocesan church.

Thank you for your ongoing support and please be assured that you are always in my prayers.
