Annual Fund Program

 

Did you happen to notice this sentence during the March 1st reading of St. Paul's letter to the Philippians? "But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ" (Phil 3:20).

 

"Our citizenship is in heaven" reminds us that we, as Christians, are citizens of a greater colony — the one for which we were created. Our time on earth is limited, and our journey is focused on a life everlasting in heaven. As pilgrims on this journey, we must continually seek opportunities to spend time in God's presence, and to invite and encourage others to do the same. Yes, this may prove to be at times difficult, but thankfully God, in his ultimate wisdom, gave us his Son, who, in turn, gave us his Church and our Catholic faith to help guide us.

 

At Sacred Heart, we see our mission of forming the Body of Christ for ministry as integral to helping our brothers and sisters prepare for their citizenship in heaven. Faculty members and spiritual directors are committed to educating and forming your future priests, permanent deacons and lay ministers so they may guide us in our call to holiness. It is a responsibility of which we are both honored and humbled to be a part.

 

My hope is that you also feel a part of this important purpose. After all, your friendship and support is vital to our mission. Your gift enables our students to learn how to make Jesus present and active during our time on earth, whether as priests through the sacraments, as permanent deacons working in our parishes, or as lay ministers collaborating with them in service to the Church and the world.

 

Won't you consider sending a generous gift today? Know that your contribution will be gratefully received and used with the utmost care.

 

Along with the entire Sacred Heart community, I thank you in advance and pray that the Lord walks beside you on your journey of faith. I remain,

 

Sincerely yours in Christ,

 

Very Rev. Msgr. Jeffrey M. Monforton
Rector/President
