Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The Catholic Archdiocesan Annual Appeal for 2025 has begun. Our theme during this Jubilee Year is, “United in Hope of God’s Glory”. The Catholic Archdiocesan Annual Appeal is the major fundraiser for the Archdiocese. It is the primary source of income which funds all the ministries, all the works and all the various obligations of the Archdiocese in any given year. These are all explained in the case for the Annual Appeal, which is contained in the 2025 brochure. Each parish has a goal. After that goal is attained, the parish benefits from the Parish Sharing Formula which is a part of the Annual Appeal. As a parishioner, your annual gift may be given all at once, or as a pledge paid over a period of time. Ideally the pledges should be completed by the end of August. I am profoundly grateful to those who have given in the past, especially those who have given consistently throughout the years. At the same time, I cordially welcome all who may be giving for the first time. I look forward to each of you participating in the 2025 Catholic Archdiocesan Annual Appeal as I certainly will. May we all have a spiritually enriching Jubilee Year of Hope 2025.
Devotedly yours in Christ, Most Rev. Patrick C. Pinder, STD, CMG Archbishop of Nassau February 2025
