About Us
Mission Leadership
Dear Partner in Mission,
We journey through this season of grace celebrating the birth of Jesus and allowing Christ’s spirit of love, joy, peace and reconciliation to shine brightly in our hearts. May it permeate all whom we meet each day. Like the Wisemen of old, we have seen His star and must live accordingly. “Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.” Is. 60: 1-2
That great feast of the Epiphany stresses two facets which are particularly meaningful today. Both are particularly important to the evangelization ministry of the Black and Indian Mission Office. First, the showing forth of Christ as the Son of God, and second, the extension of His Kingship to the whole world. Teaching/preaching events of the New Testament like the adoration of the Divine Child by the Magi, the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, and the changing of water into wine at the wedding feast of Cana affirm who Christ is. We compellingly present such truths in our parishes and schools that hearers of the Word might embrace the Son of God. In a world longing for leadership and direction, the People of God bring to all races and nations the Good News of Christ.
As we begin 2012, I extend my prayerful gratitude to you, our partners in this great outreach of the Church. Know that through your prayers, sacrifices and generous support you are there when a…
