WITNESS TO HOPE UPDATE
Welcome fellow parishioners to another report
about the Witness To Hope Campaign. As you
know I provide these reports, via the parish
bulletin, from time-to-time. My remarks cover
both the Sts. C & C and the St. James
campaigns.
I thought I’d fill you in on the fiduciary
responsibility built into WTH; which all Lansing
parishes enjoy for their respective accounts.
The entire Lansing Diocese WTH program is
governed by Witness to Hope Campaign
Policies and Guidelines and is managed by an
Accountability Oversight Committee (AOC).
The members of WTH/AOC, appointed by
Bishop Boyea, include clergy, lay leadership,
and parishioners. The WTH/AOC will publish an
annual Diocese-wide WTH report in our FAITH
Magazine each year, beginning this fall.
Here’s some random tidbits you might find
interesting regarding WTH:
• Lansing pledges (all parishes combined)
total nearly $80M
• There are 22,000+ WTH givers across all
Lansing parishes ..
• The average pledge is nearly $4K
• part of WTH strengthens our area’s Priests’
Pension Fund ... it helps the needy with
tuition assistance @ area catholic schools ...
it creates a perpetual endowment to
educate area seminarians
• And all parishes get $ for a local need/
needs they picked at the start.
Speaking of things local. The pledge collections
for St. James is about $114,600 and the pledge
collections so far @ C & C are about $44,000.
Parish groups and ministries
are invited to participate in
the Eucharistic Procession that
is part of the September 22nd
Diocesan Assembly by
constructing and carrying a
banner. Details regarding the
Eucharistic Procession and
guidelines for constructing the
banner can be found on the
M a d e f o r H a p p i n e s s
website. By way of reminder,
a l l p a r i s h i o n e r s a r e
encouraged to register soon
for the Assembly as space at the Breslin Center is limited.

THANK YOU!
Cristo Rey Community Center sends our
deepest gratitude to your parish for
supporting our Diaper Program this
summer. Thanks to your support, we
have been able to provide diapers to a record
number of babies in need! Since May, our
supply of diapers has nearly quadrupled and
we have been able to say “YES!” to many more
parents in need. You have brought relief to
many and helped ensure hundreds of babies
remain happy and healthy. You donors are
local heroes.
The urgent need for diapers remains; diapers
sizes 3, 4, 5, and 6 are completely out of stock.
We invite you to partner with us this fall to get
diapers and wipes to those who need it most.
Please consider hosting a diaper drive at your
workplace, Church, or next social event. You
may bring any contributions to Cristo Rey
Community Center at 1717 N. High Street,
Lansing, MI. Please contact Taylar Jackson at
517-253-8249 with any questions. Thank you!
And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you,
as you did it to one of the least of these my
brothers, you did it to me. ~Matthew 25:40
