A Reflection from Bishop Hicks

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In his First Letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul reminds us of how Christ, through His Resurrection, ensured that we, too, will rise again on the Last Day. How can we ever repay the Lord for this ultimate sacrifice? Again, we look to St. Paul, who offers guidance: "Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain" (1 Cor 15:58).

This verse not only illustrates our theme for the 2022 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA), Devoted to the Works of the Lord, but also our mission as a diocese. Every day across the Diocese of Joliet, Catholic schools and parishes form children in the faith, men and women receive guidance discerning calls to the priesthood and religious life, and Catholic Charities serves people in need. These important works of the Lord would not be possible without your gifts to the CMAA and the many ministries and programs they support.

As we launch this year’s annual appeal, please take a moment to read about some of the many works of the Lord we are able to undertake because of your continued devotion to the Church. I also invite you to learn more about the impact of the CMAA in our communities and pledge your support.

                                                                                                 Peace,
                                                                                                     Most Reverend Ronald A. Hicks
                                                                                                    Bishop of Joliet
