Every year, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester presents the Catholic Ministries Appeal, CMA, which is the annual campaign that through generosity of all faithful, the Diocese can help many, many people who are most in need. As you know, this year’s slogan is Extending Christ’s Mission through the Catholic Ministries Appeal. St. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 11:27) says that we are the mystical body of Christ. Our work and generosity are proofs of God’s love.
This year, the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, has a goal of $192,000 dollars. I am very pleased and excited to share with all of you that we achieved this goal. We have given 100%. Your donations are expressions of the many thoughtful ways in which you care for people in need throughout the entire Diocese.
I have shared with you that the parish is not only the pastor or the staff. All of you are also very important members of this wonderful family, Holy Trinity. Thank you very much for being present in our parish family, working hard for our Parish, our Diocese, and for the Kingdom of God. Let us continue to work even harder so all our wonderful Holy Trinity Family can feel God’s love through each one of our actions.
I thank God every day for the time that I have been able to share with all of you. It is my privilege to be your pastor. And, with God’s help, I look forward to many more years of sharing my ministry with you. Thank you again for your most generous donation to the CMA. Holy Trinity Church is very appreciative of your generosity. Remember, you are always in my prayers.
Remember, The Parish that we dream is the parish that I help to build.
God bless you and may the Blessed Virgin Mary be with you always!
Fr. Jorge Ramírez
