Archpastoral Message of Archbishop Mark for the 2024 Seminarian Nativity Appeal

BATH, PA [DOEPA COMMUNICATIONS] 

Dear Rev. Fathers, Esteemed Members of the Parish Councils, and Faithful,

Christ is in our midst! I pray you are well and being continuously renewed in Christ! Throughout the year we may bring opportunities for charitable giving to your attention. No one is expected to give to every appeal. Please consider which ones are important to you and support them. We appreciate your support for Youth Ministry and seminarians in the past and hope you will continue.

I am writing to ask that our faithful and parishioners to continue to remember our seminarian Alexander Scott, his wife Olivia and their unborn child in their God-pleasing prayers and also consider assisting financially during their time at seminary. With the celebration of the nativity of Christ, let us remember them. The seminarians are kept incredibly busy and outside employment is simply not an option. A monthly check could be sent directly to them or to the Diocesan Chancery with a notation. Rent is very expensive, as are utilities and groceries. Here is the mailing address:

Alexander & Olivia Scott
292 Jubinsky Rd, Apt 102
Waymart, PA 18472

Your unworthy father in Christ,

+ MARK, Archbishop of Philadelphia and the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania

Issued by the Diocesan Media Office
