Dear Parishioners of St. Robert’s,

"If you do it for one of these....you do it for me" Matthew 25:40

It is what we do that shows that we are faithful followers of Christ Jesus.

The programs and services supported by the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal demonstrate what we are about as Catholics.

The AAA helps fund services that assist youth, seniors, families, students, the sick and disadvantaged. The AAA also funds the training of priests, deacons and lay ministers, and the care of aged and infirm priests.

The administrative services funded by the Annual Appeal benefit every parish in our Archdiocese. Joining together our hands, our hearts, and our minds, enables us to do together what no one parish could do alone.

I thank you for your good Stewardship and your generous support of this most vital Appeal.

William J. Levada
Archbishop of San Francisco
