Bishops Annual Appeal Message

Bishop Elect Earl K. Fernandes- BAA Message

BAA 2022 Prayer

Loving Father,We turn to You in this season of transition in the Diocese of Columbus. With hearts filled with gratitude, we rejoice in Your blessings and guidance over the years. With hearts filled with hope, we joyfully anticipate Your marvels for our future. Through the Great Commission, Jesus Christ, Your Son, has called us to cooperate in His plan of salvation through the work of evangelization, disciple formation, charity, and mercy through diverse charisms and vocations. Responding in generosity, may we all unite together as a local church in financial support of our common mission through this year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal. We ask this in the Name of Christ Our Lord.  Amen
