“ You will be my Witnesses” - Acts 1:8
March 2019 Mailing Name Address City, State Zip Dear NAME, The Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) provides annual support for campus ministry at: University of Cincinnati, Miami University, and Wright State University.
How the CMA Works The Catholic Ministries Appeal is the annual campaign supporting six local ministries that teach, feed, and heal.
As the Catholic Bearcat community, we seek to help people encounter the transformative love of Christ, cultivate an integrated life of faith, and proclaim the Gospel in word and deed. Primarily, we want them to see themselves as members of the Church, a family of faith. In this setting, we offer ways for students to grow in their faith: a life rooted in the Sacraments, retreats, and service to name a few. Through these opportunities, we give students the chance to meet each other and experience God’s grace in those spaces.
All 200+ parishes of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati join together to invite participation in this vital appeal.
Our students recognize that they are workers in the vineyard. They have created a culture of encounter and invitation at our Newman Parish. Their faith, by its very nature, turns outward to the needs of their peers. I see their desire to share their faith with others. They have come to understand that it is precisely in their day-to-day lives, living the Gospel in their own way that is the best “program” of evangelization: recognizing their own giftedness, their own belovedness and being able to respond to the world with the eyes of Christ.

Seeing them live out their faith with such authenticity has been a blessing in my life. I’m so grateful for the support we receive through CMA because it allows us to do the work of Christ and we are blessed beyond measure because of our ministry.” We invite you to prayerfully consider supporting the 2019 Catholic Ministries Appeal.
