FDLC Annual Appeal 2024-2025

“In all circumstances, give thanks”

1 Th 5:18

Dear FDLC Members and Friends,

This Federation was founded in 1969 during a momentous period in our Church’s history. Those early years were marked by remarkable scholarship, legendary leadership, and bold change. The liturgical renewal continues to be inspired by the Holy Spirit. The wisdom of the Council Fathers continues to be championed by Popes and applauded by the faithful. The mission of this Federation continues to be the fulfillment of the Council’s vision.

Yet again and still, the FDLC seeks to educate and enlighten, to train and teach. As members of diocesan liturgical commissions, as directors of offices of worship, as academics, and as parish leaders, we strive to promote sound liturgical praxis and to form competent liturgical ministers. Through our national meetings, webinars, publications, resources, seasonal planning aids, and consultations, FDLC serves you so that you may serve others.

The Federation is profoundly aware of the need to provide formation in creative ways and at reasonable costs. With your help, we continue to operate on a very tight budget while providing FREE online training and resources to countless ministers across the country.

Please consider a donation to the 2024-2025 FDLC Annual Appeal. Whether you choose to make FDLC one of your primary charitable contributions this year or if you can only share a portion of your financial gifts, we welcome your participation in our mission. You may easily donate online with your credit card or complete the paper pledge card found in the Newsletter and return it to FDLC with your check. If your contribution is postmarked by December 31, it can be considered as a 2024 tax deduction.

Thank you in advance for your generous support. Certainly, in all the circumstances of our ministry and for all the many ways in which you serve the Church, we give thanks to God for you! May God continue to bless you!

Sincerely in Christ,

---
