FaithWorks 2025
gets personal.
The mission statement of FaithWorks is from the Gospel according to Matthew 25:35,36, 40.
Jesus said, “I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was sick, and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.” … and Jesus finishes, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
With the staggering increase in the need for assistance these last difficult years, these words of Jesus need to be proclaimed loud and clear. The hope of this year’s FaithWorks campaign is to help bridge the gap between the one who hungers and the one who can feed,the one who is sick and the one who can visit, the one imprisoned and the one who can offer reconciliation and regeneration.
To help us gain a deeper perspective, this year’s campaign is focusing on three vulnerable individuals, Lynne, Elie and an anonymous mother, who have agreed to share with us a glimpse of their struggles. They, and we, hope that by sharing of themselves, we will be inspired to share of ourselves with others whose day-to-day life is challenging. You will meet each of them in upcoming editions of FaithLines and in the brochures to be distributed to your parishes before Lent.
