What a remarkable show of support!"

Acknowledging the crucial role of various individuals in the campaign's success, Bishop Kemme expressed his sincere gratitude, saying, "Your prayers and leadership have been critical to our success so far. I could not do any of this without you, thank you for your support and partnership!"

As the campaign progresses, Bishop Kemme highlighted the enthusiasm and dedication of pastors, parish leaders, and volunteers in preparing for the campaign kickoff in April. He expressed confidence in building upon the momentum and engaging more individuals to contribute generously.

Reflecting on the impact of the campaign, Bishop Kemme emphasized, "Everyone who participates in this campaign will touch the lives of those we serve, now and for years to come." He also expressed gratitude for the faith-filled and generous spirit of the diocesan community, emphasizing the blessings they bring to the local Church.
