Dear Fred,

Thanks for sending me the Resource Guide for developing a parish based men’s ministry. It appears to be very well done and it will be a great help to those who wish to develop such a ministry in our parishes. I will make this Guide available to my Deans at our next meeting in January, and I will ask them to make the priests in their Deaneries aware of its existence and availability.

I’m very grateful to you and to all who labor with such a great commitment to the growth and development of this wonderful ministry to our Catholic men. May God continue to bless and make fruitful your efforts.

Sincerely yours,

Most Reverend Gerald E. Wilkerson
Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles
San Fernando Pastoral Region
