Message From The Bishop

"With All Our Hearts, We Give Thanks"

This is the theme of our 2012 Diocesan Development Drive. Our inspiration for this year comes from the beautiful Biblical Verse from Psalm 9:2

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will declare all your wondrous deeds.

I invite you to view the various messages from our diocesan directors. They describe the work they are doing to serve this local church we call the Diocese of Salt Lake City. Like me, I am sure you will be enthused and filled with gratitude for all that goes on in our diocese. These ministries, programs and services are supported by yearly gifts to the Diocesan Development Drive.

The 2012 drive will begin in each parish and mission during the weekend of February 4 and 5, 2012. I encourage you to participate this year and to make a gift to this essential drive. I also invite you to join me in giving thanks to God: With All Our Hearts, We Give Thanks.

May God bless you and guide you in this important decision to support the work of the Catholic Diocese by giving to the 2012 Diocesan Development Drive.

Sincerely yours in the Lord,

The Most Reverend John C. Wester
Bishop of Salt Lake City
