Because of You, Hope and Healing Continue
Share a year-end gift to support the friars’ ministries and be remembered in our Christmas Novena of Masses, December 16–24.
As this year draws to a close, our friars once again gather in prayer—giving thanks for the blessings that have sustained us and for the people who have walked beside us. At the heart of those prayers is you. Your generosity helps our friars bring hope and healing where it’s needed most, and your intentions will be remembered in a special Christmas Novena of Mass.
Because of You, This Year…
Your faith and friendship touch lives across our Franciscan world. Because of you, this year:
-
Guests at our retreat centers have found quiet, healing spaces to pray, grieve, and begin again.
-
Families in our parishes and students in our campus ministries have rediscovered faith and a sense of belonging.
-
In places like Louisville, El Paso, and San Antonio, those who might otherwise be forgotten have received food, shelter, and the simple assurance that God has not abandoned them.
Your Gift Today Sustains the Ministries of the Friars
Your past support has made so much possible. Your continued kindness ensures that these ministries will not only endure but grow.
Your year-end gift will help:
-
Sustain retreat, parish, campus, and outreach ministries;
-
Provide for senior friars who now need care after a lifetime of service;
-
Support young friars in formation as they prepare to carry this legacy into our next century of service.
This is another chance, before the year ends, to deepen your impact in changing lives and supporting the ministries of the friars.
You Remain in Our Hearts and Prayers
Whether or not you are able to make a gift at this time, please know that you and your loved ones are remembered daily in the friars’ prayers, and in a special way during our Christmas Novena of Masses.
We pray that you and those you love will experience the deep peace of Christ this Christmas season.
With gratitude and blessings,

Your Conventual Franciscan Friars
Province of Our Lady of Consolation
