Timothy Fund Mission

 

Dear Friends,

In Luke’s Gospel the Lord told his followers, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest” (Luke 10:2).

We pray to our God, provider of a bountiful harvest, to send the Spirit to inspire men to serve others through the priesthood, and the Lord hears and answers our prayers.

It is our duty to prepare and educate the men who respond to the Lord’s invitation to His sacred ministry, a preparation which is lengthy, thorough and costly. The Timothy Fund plays a key role for providing the much-needed assistance towards the formation of the future priests of our Diocese.

Your contributions to this worthy effort are most appreciated by our seminarians and me as we continue working to prepare worthy laborers to send into the Master’s harvest.
