Diocesan Bishop's Appeal
Sunday – Th e Day of the Lord”
Diocesan Bishop’s Appeal 2008 – May 3rd and 4th
May 2008

This year, our study and prayer are centered on the Eucharist
and reclaiming Sunday, the Lord’s Day. Sunday is the first day of the
week; the day which is at the very heart of our Christian life. For families,
the Sunday assembly is the most outstanding expression of their
identity and ministry. On this first day of the week, the first hours
belong to our Lord - families attending Mass together, praying together
and honoring the Lord. This day should be one of rest, relaxation and
reflection.
We are one Diocese, one community, and together must work to keep holy
the Lord’s Day by pondering, praying for, and living each week the
Resurrection of Jesus; the true source of the world’s salvation.
Your offerings to support the ministries and programs of the Diocese are
an important way to celebrate all that God has created and given to us.
They are the source and summit of our faith as Catholics.
Th rough your participation in our Diocesan Bishop’s Appeal, our ministries
and programs can continue and fl urish for all the faithful in Wyoming.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Please know of my continued prayers for you and your families.

The Most Reverend David L. Ricken, DD, JCL
Bishop of Cheyenne
