garden to his crucifixion on Calvary.
No Greater Love is a five-part Bible study program that begins

amazing love for us. Best-selling author Edward Sri guides you
through the last hours of Christ’s life.
February 12, 2023 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Diocese of Madison
Annual Catholic Appeal 2023
“Trust in the Lord with all Your Heart.”
The theme for the 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal of the
Diocese of Madison is “Trust in the Lord with all Your Heart.”
Taken from Proverbs 2:3, this biblical verse reminds us that
God indeed holds us in His Heart and that we need to place our
trust in Him, especially in times of difficulty and change.
Each pledge to the Annual Catholic Appeal supports the
many programs, resources and services that the Diocese
sponsors, offering hope, help and healing in countless ways. In
all that we do, the Gospel transforms, the sacraments sanctify
at and our charity blesses.
This year we ask that you prayerfully consider making a
pledge, payable over six months. Your gift will help enable our
parish and the diocese to reach its goal and provide to the
ministries supported by the appeal. If you received your pledge
form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back. Thank
you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.
