Bishop’s Lenten Appeal

BLA

Make a Pledge Here!

A Message from Bishop Burbidge

Make a pledge here!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This year’s Bishop’s Lenten Appeal, “In Christ We Are One,” reminds us that we are never alone on our journey of faith. In Baptism, the Lord gathers us into one Body and calls us to share his love with all we meet.

Each day across our diocese, your generosity makes this unity visible and tangible. Through the BLA, you stand with our seminarians preparing for priestly service, support our parishes and missions, accompany families through Catholic Charities, and help form disciples among children, youth, young adults, and the elderly. You bring Christ’s light to those who are suffering, searching, or feel far from the Church.

I invite you to join me in making a sacrificial gift to this year’s Bishop’s Lenten Appeal. I ask you especially to consider a recurring monthly commitment, which allows your generosity to continue bearing fruit throughout the year and may enable you to make a greater gift in thanksgiving for God’s goodness.

Thank you for all the ways you live the truth that, in Christ, we are one. Be assured of my prayers for you and your loved ones during this holy season of Lent.

Sincerely in Christ,

Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge
Bishop of Arlington
