ANNUAL DIOCESAN APPEAL 2012 Our Parish, Our Diocese, Together in Christ

Annual Diocesan Appeal
ADA 2012 RC (English) from Diocese of San Jose on Vimeo. (To donate to the ADA, click here)
Letter to Parishioners from Fr. Chris Bransfield:
Our Parish, Our Diocese, Together in Christ is the theme of this year's Annual Diocesan Appeal. As Church, we are connected to one another - parishioner to parishioner, family to family, parish to parish - joined as one in the Lord. We stand "Together in Christ" as a people of faith. We are writing to you to encourage your generosity in this year's Annual Diocesan Appeal (ADA). As a non-profit organization, the Diocese of San Jose relies on the generosity of its parishes to continue the work of furthering the Catholic faith and inspiring the people of this valley to live the values taught by Jesus Christ.
Support from the St. Martin of Tours community is essential to the success of the Diocese and its many programs. ADA funds will continue to support programs such as: Catechetical training and resources, Detention ministry, Catholic schools, the training of parish ministers in the Institute for Leadership in Ministry, Liturgical formation, the missions, The Valley Catholic, the marriage tribunal, the formation of future priests, youth and adult ministry, Diocesan operations and the Bishop's office.
Please join us in giving generously to this year's campaign. A gift of any amount is truly valued and appreciated. Each parish in the diocese is assed an amount for the appeal. This year our parish goal is $189,206. All funds raised above this amount will come back 100% to benefit St. Martin of Tours directly.
The legacy of our parish is enriched by our ties to St. Martin of Tours, who himself cut his cloak in half and offered it to a needy man at the city gates. St. Martin's ability to see Christ in others and his example of personal sacrifice should serve as our model for this year's ADA. We encourage each of you to give generously to this year's appeal and to please consider a pledge of $600. We welcome and appreciate all gifts and pledges, regardless of the amount and duration. Since everyone has different circumstances, we only ask that you consider a pledge or cash donation to the best of your financial ability.
Thank you for your generous participation in this year's ADA, and for your constant generosity to our parish. Please join us in praying for the success of this year's campaign.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Chris Bransfield, Pastor
