Giving in
proportion to one’s income is the key to a successful appeal. Certainly it is
the fairest, most equitable way for all faithful Catholics to participate in the
most vital fund raising event of the year for the Church in southern and western
Colorado. Since its inception a formula for success was presented to the people
of our diocese as a suggested guideline for giving. That same formula – one
percent (1%) of annual income – is still being used by thousands of contributors
to make their proportionate gifts to this once-a-year effort.
However, you
choose to give, no matter what the amount, you may rest assured that your
contribution will be put to good use by the Church as evidence of your love of
God and neighbor.
In making your
gift, be mindful of these words:
"It is in giving, that we receive." Saint
Frances of Assisi, Patron Saint of Colorado |
