THE MISSIONARY APPEAL

              Last Sunday, Father David Powers of the Piarist Fathers spoke at all masses about his community’s work in the poorer areas of the United States, especially Appalachia. He sought our support through a second collection and you gave!. The actual collection? $11,002.00, with another $5,000.00 promised by a parishioner.

              Each summer our diocese supports the missions, home and abroad, by inviting missionaries to explain their work and appeal for financial and spiritual support in our different parishes.

              The Missionary Co-operative Appeal is supervised by the diocesan director of the Propagation of Faith in cooperation with other diocesan directors. Religious communities or dioceses whose primary work or need is in mission areas, either abroad or in the USA, apply to the diocesan office to take up an appeal. The group’s work is evaluated and must adhere to strict guidelines. Donations are not to be spent on administrative costs, but only on the actual need presented. Then a missionary community is matched with a parish in a way that permits every church in a diocese, large, midsize, or small, to respond to an annual mission appeal from a wide cross section of need.

              With a selection process that requires the same missionary to appeal to midsize and smaller parishes, wealthy parishes do not bear the blunt of appeal after appeal. And with only one appeal per parish per summer, the Missionary Co-operative Plan eases a pastor’s concern that his parish has become an easy mark.

              What happens with your donations? The monies are deposited in the local parish account and a check forwarded through the diocesan director to the religious order or diocese to the credit of the parish. At OLPH, the lay counters total the checks and cash from the second collection and prepare a separate deposit. Checks are not recorded nor are they or ny cash ever given directly to the appealing missionary.

              You may, if you wish, send your donations to the Missionary order or community. But this indirect process serves two purposes. It insures that all funds donated go directly to the need and, second, it puts an interval between you and the requesting organization. You may have had the experience of making a one-time good faith donation to a group only to receive monthly appeals from them for years. Those who cooperate with dioceses in this cooperative process know that such direct appeals hurt subsequent collections by others who share their same ministry.

              As pastor, I have found that the annual co-operative mission appeals generate a tremendous response as we saw last Sunday. It also introduces the parish to a variety of needs and missionaries.
