<strong>Annual</strong><br />
<strong>Parish</strong><br />
<strong>Collection</strong><br />
February 9/10 2013
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:<br />
When I reflect on the generous support you<br />
have given to the Foundation <strong>of</strong> St. Joseph<br />
Seminary and Newman Theological College<br />
over the years, my first reaction is one <strong>of</strong><br />
sincere and deep gratitude. Without you, the<br />
vital missions <strong>of</strong> these institutions simply<br />
could not unfold.<br />
Day-to-day operating expenses never go<br />
down, as you know from operating your<br />
own households and businesses. Now, at a<br />
time when charitable giving is particularly<br />
difficult for many families, I am appealing to<br />
you to keep up your faithful support <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Foundation so that our college and seminary<br />
can continue their important work. We need<br />
your donations today.<br />
We are all beneficiaries <strong>of</strong> the training our<br />
graduates receive. They generously serve us as<br />
parish priests, school teachers and catechists,<br />
chaplains, missionaries and pastoral workers.<br />
I encourage you to give generously to support<br />
those who seek a deeper understanding<br />
<strong>of</strong> faith so that they can serve God in our<br />
world. Continue to pray that more people<br />
will answer the call <strong>of</strong> the Lord and help St.<br />
Joseph Seminary and Newman Theological<br />
College respond to our needs and the needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Church in Western Canada.<br />
The goal for the 2013 collection is $285,000.<br />
Your witness and service, your prayer, and<br />
your financial support become, through the<br />
Holy Spirit, Light for the world.<br />
Thank you for stewarding your gifts carefully<br />
and sharing with such generosity.<br />
May God bless you in abundance,<br />
Richard W. Smith<br />
