THE CARDINAL’S ANNUAL STEWARDSHIP
APPEAL 2018 MATCHING GIF: Talking Points for
Anonymous Matching Gift Opportunity Some of you may
have received a recent letter from Cardinal Dolan as a “last
chance” to participate in this year’s Cardinal’s Annual
Stewardship Appeal. This year, due to the generosity of an
anonymous donor, we have a ¬first-of-a-kind opportunity
for our parishioners: the chance to double the impact of
your donation to the Cardinal’s Appeal. This donor will
match – dollar for dollar – all new contributions made
between now and October 31, up to $1 million – resulting
in a $2 million contribution to the Appeal. The good news,
not only will your gift me matched, our parish will benefit
since the matched gift will count towards our parish’s
individual goal, which is currently at $17, 000.00! If the
3

, 2016
archdiocese is able to fully match this gift, we will reach
our $20 million goal. Even during current troubling times
like these, the needs of the archdiocese do not go
away. Parishes still need support to operate, our Catholic
schools and religious education programs and ministry
groups still need to function to spread the Word of
Jesus. Thank you for your attention and any support you
may be able to give to this matter.
Commitment Weekend: As you may have already
heard, due to the generosity of an anonymous donor,
we have the chance to double the impact of your
donation to this year’s Cardinal’s Appeal. This donor
will match – dollar for dollar – all new contributions
made between now and October 31, up to $1 million –
resulting in a $2 million contribution to the
Appeal. The good news for our parish is the matching
part of the gift will benefit the parish since it will
count towards our parish’s individual goal, which is
currently at $9300.
CHRISTMAS RAFFLE: Our parish organizes four
major fund raising activities in a year to ensure our parish
remains financially self-sustaining. In so doing, we avoid
the danger and implication of borrowing money to maintain

St. Michael the Archangel defends us in battle. Be our
defense against the wickedness and snares of the

Cada Adviento, la Liturgia de la Palabra le da a nuestro
sentido del tiempo una reorientación. Hay una tensión
deliberada en las lecturas de las próximas cuatro semanas:
entre promesa y cumplimiento, expectativa y liberación,
entre mirar hacia adelante y mirar hacia atrás. En la primera
lectura de hoy, el profeta Jeremías enfoca nuestra mirada en
la promesa que Dios le hizo a David, unos 1,000 años antes
de Cristo. Dios dice a través del profeta que cumplirá esta
promesa al levantar una "justa", una descendencia justa de
David, que gobernará a Israel en la justicia.
El Salmo de hoy también suena el tema de la antigua
expectativa de Israel: "Guíame en tu verdad y enséñame.
Porque Tú eres Dios mi Salvador y por ti esperaré todo el
día ". Recordamos el deseo y la anticipación de Israel
sabiendo que Dios ya ha cumplido esas promesas al enviar
a su único Hijo al mundo. Jesús es el “tiro justo”, el Dios y
Salvador para quien Israel estaba esperando.
Saber que Él es un Dios que cumple sus promesas presta
gran urgencia a las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio de
hoy.
Instándonos a vigilar su regreso en gloria, Él se basa en las
imágenes del caos y la inestabilidad del Antiguo
Testamento: la agitación en los cielos; mares rugientes
Angustia entre las naciones, y gente aterrorizada.
Él evoca la imagen del profeta Daniel del Hijo del Hombre
que viene en una nube de gloria para describir su regreso
como una "teofanía", una manifestación de Dios.
Muchos se encogerán y literalmente se morirán de miedo.
Pero Jesús dice que debemos saludar los tiempos finales
con las cabezas en alto, confiadas en que Dios cumple sus
promesas, que nuestra "redención está cerca", que "el reino
de Dios está cerca".
Every Advent, the Liturgy of the Word gives our sense of
time a reorientation. There’s a deliberate tension in the
next four weeks’ readings—between promise and
fulfillment, expectation and deliverance, between looking
forward and looking back.
In today’s First Reading, the prophet Jeremiah focuses
our gaze on the promise God made to David, some 1,000
years before Christ. God says through the prophet that
He will fulfill this promise by raising up a “just shoot,” a
righteous offspring of David, who will rule Israel in
justice.
Today’s Psalm, too, sounds the theme of Israel’s ancient
expectation: “Guide me in Your truth and teach Me. For
You are God my Savior and for You I will wait all day.”
We look back on Israel’s desire and anticipation knowing
that God has already made good on those promises by
sending His only Son into the world. Jesus is the “just
shoot,” the God and Savior for Whom Israel was waiting.
Knowing that He is a God who keeps His promises lends
grave urgency to the words of Jesus in today’s Gospel.
Urging us to keep watch for His return in glory, He
draws on Old Testament images of chaos and
instability—turmoil in the heavens; roaring seas ; distress
among the nations, and terrified people.
He evokes the Prophet Daniel’s image of the Son of Man
coming on a cloud of glory to describe His return as a
“theophany,” a manifestation of God.
Many will cower and be literally scared to death. But
Jesus says we should greet the end-times with heads
raised high, confident that God keeps His promises, that
our “redemption is at hand,” that “the kingdom of God is
near” .
