The entire 25th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew is dedicated to the topic of being ready: “For you know neither the day nor the hour.” (Mt 25:13)

You have shown great generosity in recent months. We are most grateful. The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) exceeded its goal in record time because of your response.

John R. Conley and Mary E. Conley met at a Catholic Sodality event 70 years ago. Their long life together was blessed with deep faith as they welcomed 11 children and almost 100 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

You may have noticed the promotions and sponsorships recently orchestrated by the Catholic Foundation's Marketing Committee. The committee's ultimate goal is to strengthen the board's outreach to the Catholic community of Eastern Washington, specifically in providing services to the parishes and schools of the Spokane Diocese.

I am suggesting that you take some time to recall as far back as you can how giving became part of your life. The Christmas season offers an ideal period to pray about giving as you draft a spiritual memoir, a resource that will provide context and comfort because it came from within you.
