My Dear Sisters and Brothers:

It will soon be three years since Holy Holiness Pope John Paul II entrusted the pastoral care of the Church of San Antonio to me in my service as Archbishop. Throughout that time, I have been blessed with a dedicated clergy and faith-filled laity who continue to demonstrate an eagerness to grow in their love of God and one another. This devotion to the works of the Church and its mission was undeniably evident in the record-setting response to the 2007 Archbishop’s Appeal. I am pleased to report that this Appeal received commitments from 23,363 Catholics representing a total of $3,255,593, more than $250,000 over the goal!
