Reverend Monsignor Maloney,

Thank you and your parishioners for the hospitality and generosity shown to the missionary who visited. Hopefully, the

appeal gave the members of your parish the opportunity to understand more fully the missionary task of the

universal Church.

The $2,697 donation from your parish is surely needed and appreciated by the Diocese of Kohima. The generous response of your parishioners is a tangible example of their prayerful and

sacrificial participation in our common mission.

Sincerely, Rev. Msgr. Joseph P. Nagle

Diocesan Director
