Summer 2010: Horizons 2015 Priorities and Diocesan Convention News

O Lord our God, look with favor upon your pilgrim people in the Diocese of Maryland. Help our bishops, priests, deacons and lay ministers lead lives worthy of the calling to which we have been called, with all humility, gentleness and patience. May our life together be infused by the grace of truth and the spirit of reconciliation; in times of celebration may we freely rejoice, and in times of distress may we listen to and forgive one another in love, always eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Open our hearts to receive the Living Christ in our midst; may we never tire to seek him in prayer and action and in works of mercy and justice throughout the world. This we pray in the name of Jesus our Savior, Amen. -- Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton, a prayer for the diocese, 2008

About the Bishops' Annual Appeal

The true work of the Church comes when we work together as a community of parishes. The Bishops’ Annual Appeal is an annual fund raising campaign that helps fund parish and community-based ministries in our diocese. Through these efforts we are able to reach out to individuals and communities in need across the state. Many parishes in our diocese sponsor programs and ministries that address the social, educational and cultural needs of children and adults. The Bishops’ Annual Appeal provides additional resources for new and existing parish-based ministries. Some ministries are directly supported by the Appeal and some funds are distributed by the Diocesan Grants Committee to support new parish ministries.
