Sample Bishops Letter
May be read from the pulpit, inserted into the parish bulletin,
or printed in the (arch)diocesan paper.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Catholics in Latin America and the Caribbean face many challenges when it comes to sharing their faith; yet the light always shines through and hope arises. For example, in the Diocese of San Miguel, El Salvador, the youth of Holy Family Parish are at high risk for violence and gang activity. In response, the parish designed a youth enrichment and leadership program to address young peoples need for critical-thinking skills and values education. The parish hopes to help the youth living in these high-vulnerability areas create a culture of solidarity and peace within their neighborhoods. The parish currently engages a group of 75 young adults. They will become youth leaders to spread the gospel message in their neighborhoods and break the cycle of violence.
In Ecuador, the Diocese of Loja organized a three-day formation program for their catechists, many of whom work in isolated areas. More than 2,500 catechists gathered from around the diocese to participate in training sessions on rural ministry, bible instruction, and other areas of catechesis. One of the participants, Andrea, said that the experience was informative and enriching and that the catechists were able to meet each other and share their diverse experiences. She said that the sessions fortified her spirit so that she can go back to her ministry in the parish and better serve the people in the diocese.
The Collection for the Church in Latin America, through projects like these youth and young adult ministry programs, as well as catechesis programs, empowers the faithful of Latin America to deepen their faith and share it with each other and the world.
Our (arch)diocese takes up this Collection the weekend of [insert date here]. Please be generous
in this Collection and take this opportunity to share your faith with the youth of Latin America
and the Caribbean. Your support will truly make a difference. Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
(Bishops name, title, and signature)
