My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I’m excited about the theme for this year’s Idaho Catholic Appeal—We Are One Body.  It reminds us of our unity as the one Body of Christ.  No matter where we live, no matter what parish we belong, our annual Appeal reminds us of the energy and power for good that is created when we all work together in Building the Body of Christ in Idaho.  No one person, family, or parish can accomplish what all our people and parishes can do when we join our efforts together in service to our God and our Church.  Our Appeal helps us to accomplish this by supporting more than 13 diocesan central ministries that provide service and assistance to individuals, schools, and parishes throughout our state, impacting lives and bringing Jesus to thousands of people.

We need the support of everyone to carry out the work of the Church in Idaho.  Please prayerfully consider making a pledge to this year’s Idaho Catholic Appeal, so that we may strengthen parish life across our state.  Thank you for your support and may God bless you!

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Michael P. Driscoll, M.S.W., D.D.
Bishop of Idaho
