We invite you -


Let FaithWorks

be part of your Lent.


Isaiah 58:6-9


Is not this the fast that I choose:

    to loose the bonds of injustice,

    to undo the straps of the yoke,

to let the oppressed go free,

    and to break every yoke?


Is it not to share your bread with the hungry

    and bring the homeless poor into your house;

when you see the naked,

to cover them and not to hide yourself from your own kin?

Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,

    and your healing shall spring up quickly;

your vindicator shall go before you;

    the glory of the Lord

 shall be your rear guard.


Then you shall call,

and the Lord will answer;

you shall cry for help,

and the Lord will say,

“Here I am.”

A generous donor has offered a $100,000 matching challenge grant for all new and increased donations. That means for every dollar raised over last year’s amount, by an individual or parish, FaithWorks receives an extra dollar. We encourage you to make a special effort this year –

 

doing a little more can make twice the difference.
