"To be able to participate in the support of one seminarian that ends up becoming a priest and bearing fruit is definitely an act of trust in the Lord, of placing something at His feet that might seem small.

It might seem like the loaves and the fish that the young boy gave the Lord in the gospels.

It's a gift that, hopefully, in the life of even just one priest, will bear much fruit for the Kingdom of God."

TheCatholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) is the annual campaign to support six local ministries that teach, feed, and heal. Through the CMA, all parishes of the archdiocese join together as the Body of Christ to collaborate in the Corporal Works of Mercy. 

Listen to Archbishop Schnurr's homily which was played in parishes of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati the weekend of January 18-19.

"Christ gives us the gifts and talents that we have so that we can be His voice, His hands, and His feet; going out into the world, reaching people that are not aware of His love, helping them come into that love, and therefore enriching their lives.

Trust in the Lord and the Lord will guide you. His love is never going to be outdone."

- Archbishop Schnurr
