ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO
 January 2010
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
The 2009 Annual Catholic Appeal has raised over $14,000,000 to date, continuing the generous response from the people of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Even in these difficult economic times, when everyone pulls together in this way, we are able to fund the many critical agencies and ministries of the Church in Chicago. As importantly, many parishes exceeded their goal, resulting in rebates thus far of $5,500.000! The credit for this success goes to the pastors and people of God in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Thank you.
Saint Luke says of the earliest disciples, “...they left everything and followed Him.” That haunting phrase describes a full and completely generous commitment, and it describes the theme of the 2010 Annual Catholic Appeal. Through the Annual Catholic Appeal, we rededicate ourselves as Christ’s disciples and a community of welcome, service, and support. Our loving and trusting act of faith is, of course, at the heart of it all. Only faith can enable us to leave everything behind that holds us bound and strengthen us to follow Jesus. Only faith can enable us to embrace the works of welcoming those who believe in Jesus Christ, of serving others with our talents, and of supporting the needs of our neighbors in the Archdiocese of Chicago and neighbors in need throughout the world with our financial offerings.
The Annual Catholic Appeal extends an essential hand of help to our schools, parishes, programs of religious education and ministerial formation, efforts to respect life, initiatives to make the world more just, peaceful and loving, and Catholic Relief Services that serve those overseas who are devastated by natural disasters, illness, wars and famines. The prayer of our hearts, the work of our hands, and our generous offering of financial support - all these identify among us those who follow him.
Thank you for sharing in this endeavor.
You and those you love are in my prayers. Please continue to keep me in yours.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago
835 North Rush Street Chicago, Illinois 60611
