SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT De PAUL’S ANNUAL APPEAL: Each year we have an operating budget of $100,000.00. 95 cents out of every dollar goes directly to assist with the basic needs of our neighbors. With your generosity our annual appeal has assisted us in reaching half of our goal! Thank you to our friends at St. Francis Parish who donated $2,940.00!!
CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL: Thank you for filling out a Catholic Services Appeal envelope. For those who did not fill one out, please consider doing so. There are envelopes in the back of church. No gift is too small, and our parish is trying to reach 100% participation. By making your gift you can save a volunteer from having to call you. There are many challenges that face us today, the shortage of priests is one such challenge. Thus far, 113 families have donated. Our assessment this year is $65,299.84. Please join other Catholics from within the 16 counties of our diocese in supporting this very important appeal.
