This Sunday marks National Grandparents Day, established in our country as a way in which to educate our youth about the important contributions that grandparents have made throughout history. That has certainly been the case during these months of pandemic. In so many cases, it is grandparents who have helped with childcare, a contribution to family life of great value in a difficult time. The day set aside to honor them reminds us to be grateful for their wisdom and their experience in life. Listening to them gives us lessons in living.

For us in the Church, grandparents are often a source of great grace. They help pass on our faith in the love of God. In my conversations with young people, they often speak of what they have learned from their grandparents and how important the influence of their grandparents has been on their own commitment to living their faith. Grandparents hold a very special role in the handing on of our faith, including the generous way in which many help with tuition for their grandchildren to attend Catholic schools in Maine. They know the importance of drawing strength and hope from the relationship they have with God in Jesus Christ, and we can truly be grateful for that witness.  

Let us appreciate, and affirm, the gift of grandparents who remind us, in their own sharing, lives, and love, the true meaning of faith.

As a community of faith, we journey together to discover, follow, and share Christ with each person we encounter along the way. In both word and action, we are called to share our faith to make Jesus present to those who need to hear and see him the most. As a community of faith, we are called to be witnesses to the Gospel, changing individual hearts one at a time and transforming the communities where we live. This is our work, the work of our Church, made possible through your support. 

Please look into your heart and step out in faith by prayerfully considering a gift in support of the 2021 Catholic Appeal.
