Dear Friend of the Sacred Heart,

Would you respond if Christ asked you to lend Him a hand?

I am sure you have lent a hand to family members, friends and even strangers many times over the years. In doing this, you have lent a hand to Christ!

Through your hands — and because of your support and compassion — our retired priests and brothers embrace a small measure of comfort and continued faith in their senior years. God bless them!

In honor of those who have retired, this year our Annual Holiday Fund will help provide holiday meals to our retirees. Since many are unable to spend this Christmas with their families, they will be enjoying a little more time in the company of their fellow Priests of the Sacred Heart.

Here is how your gift helps provide Christmas meals to these men of wisdom, faith and fortitude:

• $15 will help provide 3 meals for our retired priests and brothers
• $25 will help provide 5 meals for our retired priests and brothers
• $50 will help provide 10 meals for our retired priests and brothers
• $90 will help provide 18 meals for our retired priests and brothers

Will you lend a hand and send a Christmas meal to our retired priests and brothers?

Your most generous gift to our Annual Holiday Fund will be gratefully appreciated by these men who have made care and love their life’s work. Will you please send in your gift for a Christmas meal?

Thank you so much for being the hands of Christ and for your continued gifts of love.

May God bless you with unwavering faith, constant hope and enduring love, today and all the days of your life.

Gratefully in the Sacred Heart of Jesus,

Fr. Dominic, SCJ

P.S. These retired priests and brothers have pledged to remember you and your intentions in a Novena of Masses between Advent and Epiphany. Please include your prayer intentions along with your gift.
