Bishop's Caravan

The Diocese of Salina, Kansas, the diocese where I am affiliated, has undertaken a comprehensive capital campaign. The name of the campaign is, "Yesterday, Today, and Forever," which speaks of Christ who is always the same, yesterday, today, and forever. This campaign has a four-fold purpose: Priests Retirement, Seminarian Education, Catholic Charities, and Stewards of Hope- our Diocesan Pastoral Plan. The goal for this plan is $15 million and portions of that will go to each individual area. Last evening, the Manhattan, Kansas area hosted the Bishop's Caravan. This caravan consisted of our bishop, a person from the diocesan Office of Development and Stewardship, and the two people working with the group conducting this campaign. This was the fourth and final caravan for this area, which is in the First Wave of the campaign. The second and third waves, which will roll to the west will begin later. The caravan gave the bishop the opportunity to talk to those gathered how the campaign came about and the hopes we have in moving forward. If you would like to see any items related to the capital campaign for our diocese or the new Pastoral Plan check out our website: www.salinadiocese.org. Please pray for this campaign and for all those who continue to give of their time, talent, and treasure. Have a blessed day!
