Dear Parishioners and Friends:

In January, our parish announced the kick-off of the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal. However, only a few weeks later all activity within our parish, community, and archdiocese was dramatically interrupted, reshaped, and adapted. The past six months have been unpredictable and at times scary, but I have watched our community respond with strength and compassion and do what they can to serve those in need during this difficult time.

Local churches and our archdiocese have been at the forefront of this response – Catholic Charities has given out more meals in the past four months than it does in a normal year, and our diocesan ministries have continued to serve even as our world has shifted almost entirely to digital communication. Your continued support of the Appeal ensures that archdiocese is equipped to serve all people in need when they approach our parishes for help.

While this is a rough year for all of us, it is still an important time to reflect on how God is calling us to give of ourselves – through prayer to God who remains faithful in times of suffering, through service to our families and neighbors, and through the fruits of our labors to support the work of the Church. If you have been thinking and praying about a gift to the Appeal, may our time together today help you come to a decision to help make our archdiocese stronger. If you have already made your gift, thank you most sincerely for your sacrifice and generosity.

As you consider your gift, please realize that you are not alone in this effort.

To date our parish has received 128 pledges, totaling $79,807.  This is over 50% of our goal of $154,500.

Please prayerfully consider your gift. Not everyone will be able to make a gift during these difficult times, but we ask those who have the means, please do so.

May God bless you for your support of our parish and for your goodness to others.”
