Invoking upon you and the clergy, religious and laity of the Diocese grace and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Father cordially imparts his Apostolic Blessing. Yours sincerely in Christ, Angelo Becciu Substitute Letter to the Bishop Dear Bishop Kihneman, Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA) is a papal agency, which accompanies and supports the Eastern Catholic churches in the Middle East, Northeast Africa, parts of Eastern Europe and India -- as the Propagation of the Faith reaches out in support of Latin missions. Many of the Eastern churches trace their beginnings to the Apostles, but now suffer greatly from oppression, war, persecution and poverty. Your generous distribution of $1,628.23, which represents a portion of the 2017 World Mission Sunday Collection from the faithful of your Diocese of Biloxi, demonstrates the solidarity between your faithful and those Eastern churches that CNEWA is privileged to serve. We are most grateful to you and to all your faithful for your generosity, and offer the prayerful thanks of the poor who are assisted by your contribution. Please accept the gratitude of His Eminence Leonardo Cardinal Sandri, Prefect of the Congregation for the Eastern Churches, and His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of CNEWA, for this expression of solidarity and accompaniment. The poor remember you in their prayers and ask that you remember their needs in your prayers. Asking God to continue to bless you in your mission endeavors, I remain Gratefully, Rev. Msgr. John E. Kozar President For updates on news around the diocese, and from the Vatican and Catholic News Agency , as well as previous issues of the Gulf Pine Catholic in full color, visit www.biloxidioceseorg.
