Please Give to Your Local Parish

On behalf of Bishop John Stowe and all those involved in serving the Church in the Diocese of Lexington, I want to let you know that you are in our prayers. We pray that you and your family remain safe and at peace as we deal with the unprecedented situation with COVID-19.

It is heartbreaking for all of us, especially for Bishop John, to suspend the public celebration of Mass and other activities in parishes. However, there is solace in the fact that our priests continue to celebrate the Mass and we can be in spiritual union with them.

Like you, my family is struggling with the new normal. With children home from school, and my husband and I both working, coronavirus is touching virtually every aspect of our lives. One of the most significant is the separation from our parish community.

Even though we cannot be together, I ask you to continue to support your parish. With Mass cancelled, parishes will be struggling to pay for ongoing bills. Just like our home budget, the bills for utilities, for insurance, and for other operations will continue.

If you are financially able, please support your parish. You can give directly to your parish by mailing your donation or giving online. I have posted links to each of our parishes below. 

God will no doubt provide, but He still needs us to do our part! I cannot recall a time in my life when the opportunity for us to respond as a people of God in faith, hope and charity has ever been more clear. Let’s support one another, each according to our gifts.

Our priests continue to celebrate the Mass, and pray for us; let us continue to pray and fully support them, our families, neighbors, coworkers and parish communities as much as we can.

The days ahead may be uncertain, but God’s promise to us is steadfast. Thank you, and may God Bless you and your family.

Yours in Christ,

Bobbi Silver
