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 for 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 you along with the faithful continue to remember our seminarians, Alexander Korapsak; Nicholas Sheridan and Jacob Kurtz in their God-pleasing prayers and consider assisting financially during their time at seminary. 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. While St Tikhon’s covers tuition, St. Vladimir’s covers half and the seminarian is responsible for raising the other half. Neither seminary covers rent, utilities, groceries, or books. Here are the mailing addresses:

Your unworthy father in Christ,

+MARK
