- Bishops's Lenten Appeal BLA. Prayerfully consider making a pledge. Through your support of this important appeal, you become the hands and heart of our Lord Jesus!
may we also embrace a time of feasting on the Word of God,
on prayer and on the joy that comes from sharing our time, attention, energy,
and even our treasure with others."
