Cardinal Seán on Inspiring Hope
My Dear Friends in Christ:
It is my great joy to share with you the many ways that the Inspiring Hope Capital campaign is supporting the work of evangelization in our Archdiocese. Through the generosity of so many, during the two year quiet phase of the campaign we have been able to continue our collective mission to strengthen and grow the ministries that each day impact the lives of the people we serve. Now in our public phase, this major capital campaign, the first since 2003, will continue to advance with its goal of raising $200 million.
The funds raised through Inspiring Hope – and directed by you to what you care most about – will assist our local Church with the work of moving forward, to help address specific needs and to provide an enduring legacy for generations to come. This campaign benefits virtually every organization in the Archdiocese, enriching hundreds of thousands of lives: those worshiping in the parishes, attending our Catholic schools, our current and future priests, the religious and those who serve the poor among us.
Our mission is to spread the Good News of the Gospel and to each day be examples of Christ’s love, to care for each other, defend the defenseless, and actively lead the way forward guided by the promise of the goodness of the Lord. To do so requires significant financial resources and is the reason behind our launch of Inspiring Hope.
Our partnership with one another will be strengthened by our coming together to support the short- and long-term needs of the Archdiocese, mindful of the extraordinary foundation established by those who built our churches and schools and established faith formation and social justice programs that have enriched our lives.
We prayerfully invite you to join us in Inspiring Hope as we seek the support of every member of the Church in Boston.
Gratefully yours in Christ,
Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley, O.F.M., Cap.
Archbishop of Boston
