We are not a wealthy diocese and our needs may be great. But, we rely on the goodness of God. We prayerfully make known our needs to Him and obediently place ourselves in His service. Open to His divine providence, we pray that God, stirring in each a generous heart, will act through us to meet those needs.
The Bishop's Appeal, my plea to you, is that you prayerfully sacrifice only what is necessary to sustain the good works of the Church.
I thank God for each of you and for your love of His Church. Placing our needs at the foot of the cross with complete confidence in His mercy, I am
Your Servant in Christ Jesus,
Most Reverend Alvaro Corrada, S.J.
Bishop of Tyler
