I want us to live and witness to the Gospel in a literal and radical way to our families, friends, neighbors, and the world. Only then will our light (the light of Christ) shine in the darkness.

"From the amount of phone calls, emails, texts and Facebook messages I've received already today, I would say that gay Catholics that are reaching out to me feel hope-filled," said Zerkowski. "They understand that the evolution of doctrine is a painfully slow process, but everyone one of them has expressed gratitude and tremendous hope that we are at least moving forward, that we're not stuck. That gives them hope."

The Diocese of Lexington's Annual Appeal is a visible expression of our unity as the Body of Christ. Each donation to the fund is a sign that we believe in the Gospel message to “love one another as I have loved you” [John 15:12]. It is an affirmation of our belief that “faith without works is useless” [James 2:20]. It demonstrates that we believe that whatever you do to others, you do to Jesus.
