Bishop's Letter

Dear Friends,

As the new year begins we are launching our 2005 Bishop’s Ministry Appeal with great hope and energy for the work ahead. Through the success of this appeal, we are able to do the Lord’s work in all six counties of the Stockton Diocese.

We live in difficult times for the Church. But we must continue to teach our children, train new lay leadership, encourage vocations, welcome the stranger, protect the vulnerable and worship our God. I assure you that 100% of
your contributions to the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal will be used for that purpose.

I invite each of you to join hands with others in the Diocese of Stockton to do God’s work. Please remember to keep the success of the appeal and the good work of our ministries in your prayers. Thank you for sharing your blessings. With
every good wish, I am

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Stephen E. Blaire
Roman Catholic Bishop of Stockton

Queridos Amigos,

A medida que comienza el nuevo año, estamos lanzando nuestra Solicitud Ministerial del Obispo 2005 con gran esperanza y energía por la tarea que nos espera. Por medio del éxito de esta solicitud, podremos hacer la obra del Señor en los seis condados de la Diócesis de Stockton.

Estamos viviendo tiempos difíciles en la Iglesia. Pero debemos continuar enseñando a nuestros niños, entrenar nuevo liderazo laico, fomentar vocaciones, acoger a extraños, proteger a los débiles y adorar a nuestro Dios. Les aseguro
que 100% de sus donativos a la Soliditud Ministerial del Obispo serán usados con ese propósito.

Les invito a todos y cada uno a unirse de manos con otros en la Diócesis de Stockton para hacer la obra de Dios. Por favor acuérdense de orar por el éxito de la solicitud y la buena labor de nuestros ministerios. Gracias por compartir.

Sinceramente en Cristo,

Reverendísimo Stephen E. Blaire
Obispo Católico Romano de Stockton
