Dear Friends,

It's been a while since I've seen many of you--you may know that I live in Rome now, where I will be studying for the priesthood for the next five years.

My friends and I here at the seminary have decided to band together and run coast-to-coast across Italy, in order to raise money to aid Christians in need in Syria. Even if you cannot donate at this time, I urge to to take a moment--right now!--to say a prayer for those suffering terribly for their faith in Syria.

If you are able to donate, know that 100% of your gift made through my page or our team will go directly to "Aid to the Church in Need," a Catholic charity under the guidance of the Holy Father.

To donate, click on the Donate Now button on this page.

Thank you so much, and I hope to hear from you sometime soon!

Yours in Christ Jesus,

Alex
