A MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I am reaching out to ask for your support for the 2024 Catholic Services Appeal. This year’s theme “We are His Body”, tells us something very important about ourselves. As people of faith, we are a Eucharistic people. We are one body with many members because we are the first partakers of the Body of Christ, the Eucharist (1Cor 10:16-17).

As recipients of the Eucharist, the real presence of Jesus, we are meant to be transformed to become what we receive – the very presence of Christ in the world. This means our lives as individuals in the Church must be directed toward the good of others as ministers of Christ’s mercy, love, and compassion.

This mercy, love, and compassion is clearly demonstrated in the many ministries that take place within the Diocese of Reno. Perhaps your children have benefited from religious education in one of our parishes. Deacons have been taught to provide pastoral care for those in need and for people who are grieving. You have made it possible to foster and enrich vocations to the priesthood. These and other things are made possible by the Catholic Services Appeal.

Please allow me to introduce the updated format of the pamphlet and pledge card. If you prefer to make your donation online, click Pledge Card on the side and complete the form and other related information.

I am humbled and thankful for your generous continued support, and I ask you to prayerfully consider a gift to the Catholic Services Appeal 2024.

Please know that I keep you and your loved ones in my daily prayers. God Bless you always!

With every best wish and assurance of prayer, I remain,

Yours in Christ

+Most Reverend Daniel H. Mueggenborg

Bishop of Reno
