Sharing stories of faith, hope and love

Dear readers,

Across the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, the Holy Spirit is at work — and the stories are powerful.

From an increase in vocations to busloads of Catholic pilgrims attending the National Eucharistic Congress and hearts being ignited by Christ at college campuses and Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Youth Camp, our Church is alive with faith, joy and mission.

And because of you, we have been able to share these inspiring moments with thousands.

Through your support of the Sooner Catholic Communications Appeal, our communication team has been on the ground capturing stories through photography, video and storytelling across print, web and social media. Your generosity has allowed us to be the eyes and ears of the archdiocese — especially for those who can’t always be there in person.

Another grace-filled year is already underway. In June, the archdiocese will celebrate the ordination of two new priests —Jonah Beckham and John Grim. The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will stop in Oklahoma City, uniting Catholics in prayer and public witness. Our Catholic schools are thriving, forming young men and women in faith and excellence — ready to lead with purpose.

We don’t want anyone to miss what God is doing here.

Your gift to the Sooner Catholic Communications Appeal ensures that these stories of faith, hope and love continue to be told, reaching families, the homebound, prisoners, rural parishes and young people across western and central Oklahoma.

Your gift of $100 or more today will directly power our mission — helping to share the Good News and strengthen the Catholic presence in every corner of the archdiocese.

Thank you for being a part of this mission. Together, we are evangelizing through story — building a culture of faith that endures.

John Helsley
Director of Communications
