FORTY YEARS: OPENING DOORS TO OUR FAITH
In 1979, Terence Cardinal Cooke started the Cardinal's Archdiocesan Appeal to facilitate the pastoral, educational and charitable works of the Archdiocese of New York. In the 40 years since, the Appeal has raised many millions of dollars - every penny of which has benefited parishes and the 2.7 million Catholics of the Archdiocese of New York.
In his first address as pope, Saint John Paul II called on all of us to " open wide the doors to Christ"- a call for personal holiness and conversion of heart but also a call to invite others into the universal Church. We pray we may continue opening our doors to those who need to hear the message of our Lord.
The doors that matter most are at the entrances to our nearly 300 parishes. That's why, on its 40th anniversary, we are focusing the Cardinal's Annual Stewardship Appeal entirely on keeping our parishes healthy and vibrant.
