“Our genuine love for Christ leads us to generous service to all our brothers and sisters, especially those in difficulty and need. May we go forth this Lent, renewed in spirit and in our commitment to respond wholeheartedly to the Lord’s call, and to “Build My Church” and make His love touch the lives of the hurting and wounded in our community.”
– Bishop Ronald W. Gainer
Because of your generosity to the Lenten Appeal, individuals, families, and local communities experience the merciful presence of Christ through the many services and outreach programs provided throughout the Diocese of Harrisburg.Consider the multitude of children who are taught the faith through our Catholic schools and religious education programs. See how the boundaries of our Church extend beyond our own properties to the young adults benefiting from campus ministry programs, the retreats and camps meeting the needs of the spiritually and physically limited, the values of integrity and honor being taught to the youth in our scouting programs. From parish offices to athletic fields, the work of faith begins with worship and reaches out toward every dimension of our lives to fashion a society that reveres the dignity of life and safeguards the inalienable values which make us truly human.Through the Bishop’s Annual Lenten Appeal, you sustain these programs and works of mercy.
