Giving As an Act of Faith

Norbert Roessner is a proud member of his church in Gainesville, Texas. If you’re looking for someone to support anything from a renovation project to a Faith Formation bake sale, Norbert is there. 

Norbert found Catholic World Mission nearly 25 years ago when he came across one of our monthly mail appeal letters. He says two things stood out to him: "the range of projects we support and the tenacity with which we vet our partners.” When he gives to the Catholic World Mission, Norbert knows that his donation will support the work of dedicated priests and nuns around the world.

For Norbert, as I am sure for many of you, giving is an act of faith.

“For I know well the plans I have for you — oracle of the Lord — plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Norbert is confident that the Holy Spirit will work through our partners, guiding them as they evangelize to their communities and educate those seeking knowledge in the faith.
