NOTE
from Ray Joyce, VOTF Executive Director – “One of the Many
Voices”
Thank
you!
I’ve
only been on the job for a couple of weeks but I want to
start out with a word of thanks. VOTF is for all intents
and purposes a volunteer organization; affiliates, regional
affiliates and coordinators, working groups, steering committees,
subcommittees, national representative council, officers,
and trustees are all volunteers along with nearly all the
help at the national office. In addition, the few paid
staff/consultants, also regularly volunteer additional
time and/or donate
resources. This movement simply could not exist without
the time and talent of so many dedicated volunteers. Thank
you.
I’d
also like to thank those of you who have contributed your
financial resources, your treasure, to VOTF. Despite the
ingenuity of our volunteers, there are only so many items
we can barter. Your continued donations allow us to help
expand this movement in order to meet our goals and honor
our mission statement.
I’d
also like to thank the many related organizations with
whom we collaborate on a host of issues including supporting
survivors and their loved ones, supporting the many good
priests in their ministry and assisting in our efforts
to reclaim and renew the Church through greater participation
of the laity. Please know that everyone’s dedication to
and support of this movement, large and small, visible
and not so visible, are very much appreciated.
I
look forward to meeting many of you at our Convocation
over the weekend of July 8-10th in Indianapolis. If you’re
unable to attend, please keep Voice of the Faithful in
your prayers.
