My dearest brothers and sisters in Christ:
Reflecting on 2018 with immense joy and thanksgiving, the Diocese of Laredo celebrated its 18th anniversary. Your stewardship of time, talent and treasure throughout this period significantly impacted the diocese, marking an enduring legacy for generations to come. It is through your generosity that the Catholic Church will continue to minister the love of Christ to the people living in the seven counties within the Diocese of Laredo.
I present to you the diocesan Annual Report for the 2017-18 fiscal year. This audited report details how your financial assistance was utilized and how we honor the intent of our donors who expect the Diocese of Laredo to act as good stewards of their gifts and resources.
As I look back on the past eighteen years of our young mission diocese, I extend my sincere gratitude to you for giving of yourselves in time, talent and treasure. Your financial contribution allows us to extend Christ’s love throughout the diocese. May the Lord’s blessing be with you.
