United Catholic Appeal Minute

Wouldn't it be spectacular to see, if only for a few   moments, heaven before we expired? To encounter, if only briefly, the grace of being fully connected to God would radically change us. Our worldly attachments would dim, and our conviction to live a life pleasing to God would grow. While Jesus provides only a small impression of the resurrected life, he leaves no doubt that "the dead will rise".  As you put your hope in the life to come, all your actions and decisions can be aimed toward that one goal of union with our heavenly Father forever. By now everyone should have received a UCA intention form in the mail from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The return envelopes are addressed to St. Patrick and American Martyrs, so save yourself a stamp and drop them, containing your pledge, into the collection basket.

All checks are to be made out to “United Catholic Appeal.

Thank you!

 

Saint Patrick Angel Tree
