My Dear Friends of the Missions.
The Mission Cooperative Plan (MCP) appeal will take place on June 25^th-26^th. This year the funds received from this special collection will directly support the following participating Mission Dioceses:

1. Diocese of Irinjalakuda, India – Bishop Pauly Kannookadan
2. Diocese of Kumba, Cameroon – Bishop Agapitus Nfon
3. Diocese of Maiduguri, Nigeria—Bishop Oliver Doeme Dashe
4. Diocese of Matagalpa, Nicaragua—Bishop Rolando Jose Alvarez Lagos
5. Ecclesiastical Academy --Archbishop Joseph S. Marino
6. Diocese of Aguascalientes, Mexico- Bishop Juan Espinoza Jimenez 

 This pandemic has raised our awareness of the needs and vulnerabilities of our fellow humans, both at home and abroad. The world has shrunk with social isolation which helps us relate to the life supporting needs of our neighbors at home and in the missions we support. It is important to note that we continue to significantly support Archbishop Joseph S. Marino in his various projects.  Please seize this moment by allowing your parishioners the opportunity to respond regardless of their means. Your prayers are particularly most vital this year for these much-needed projects. Your generosity and support over the years has been life changing for many people around the world. We ask that you continue to pray and support those who are less fortunate. 
On behalf of our participants, I wish to express my sincere gratitude for your prayers, generosity, and contributions of efforts and donations.
May God continue to bless you.

Reverend Raymond J. Remke
Diocesan Director
