Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
From the earliest days of my tenure as bishop of the
Diocese of Erie, I have been committed to strong
communications. While I am the shepherd of this diocese, all of us are
on this journey of faith together.
That’s why I continue to take full advantage of every tool at
our disposal to keep you informed about what is happening with the
Catholic Church worldwide, across the United States and here in
northwest Pennsylvania. This is no small effort, given the changing
media landscape. We strive to reach you whether you prefer to read
Faith magazine, receive the weekly Diocese of EriE-news in your email
or find us through social media. This requires interacting on a variety of
platforms in order to reach different audiences.
Thanks to your generous support of the annual Help Spread
the Faith Communications Collection, all of these options and more
remain available to you, free of charge.
We have a small but dedicated team of communications
professionals not only working to share important information, but also
to write and promote stories that inspire. People tell us they pass these
stories along or discuss them with family and friends — a great way to
begin conversations that open doors and hearts.
Please help me continue this essential outreach by
participating in the 2023 Help Spread the Faith Communications
Collection scheduled for the weekend of January 21- 22.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
+ Lawrence T. Persico
The Most Reverend Lawrence T. Persico, JCL
Bishop of Erie
