March 9, 2022 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: Whether we were traveling to a nearby relative’s house, to an appointment or shopping in Plattsburgh, or off to some more distant destination, the journey was part of the fun. While the beauty of the North Country certainly added to the experience, it was a happy time being on the road, eager to reach the destination. As Catholics, we’re pilgrim people. We’re journeying together with Christ toward a common destination: eternal life with our loving God. Despite the distances and differences that separate us, the North Country Catholic helps us, the Diocese of Ogdensburg, stay “On the Journey Together.” By sharing the stories of how individuals, couples and families are living out their faith all around us, we see our commonalities, we learn to understand our differences, and we forge connections. By sharing the events and happenings around our Diocese, the North Country Catholic helps us identify opportunities to further grow in faith and in our relationships with others. The NCC has also been an effective way for me to communicate with Catholics around the diocese as we face each bump in the road with Christ as our navigator and guide. This weekend, the annual North Country Catholic subscription campaign begins. I ask that every Catholic family subscribe to our diocesan paper. If you are a current subscriber, thank you for renewing your subscription in this week’s campaign. Why not consider obtaining a subscription as a gift for a family member? I invite those who do not currently subscribe to consider the importance of being an informed Catholic Christian today. Please allow our diocesan newspaper to be a vehicle to help you and your families grow in faith. I encourage you to join us “On the Journey Together” by subscribing to the North Country Catholic. Thank you for your prayerful support. Gratefully yours in Christ,
