Bishop's Letter

Peter's Pence, Catholic University Collection

Dear Friends in Christ:

The annual combined collection for Peter's Pence and the Catholic University of America will be taken the weekend of September 11 and 12.

The Peter's Pence collection supports the charitable works of Pope John Paul II. The proceeds from this collection provide emergency relief assistance to those suffering as a result of war, oppression, and natural disasters. An amazing 98 cents of each dollar collected directly supports the Holy Father's spiritual and charitable efforts worldwide. The theme this year is "Live the truth in love; speak the truth in deeds." Your contribution to this collection is a wonderful way to acknowledge the extraordinary contribution he has made to the Church and the world as Pope and person. He has sacrificially witnessed his great love for all, especially the poor and vulnerable.

The Catholic University of America, located in our nation's capital, is a visible sign of the commitment of the Church to encourage vigorous intellectual pursuit, guided by Church teaching. It also prepares men and women for active professional careers grounded in respect for the rights and dignity of all persons. Many will be leaders of the Church in years to come. Your prayers for the young people studying there, and your financial support, will further these important roles of CUA.

Thank you for your generous gifts in support of the Holy Father's charities and The Catholic University of America.

Faithfully yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Robert C. Morlino
Bishop of Madison
