Day Care Sundays during 9:30 Mass
Thanks to all who made a
pledge to the Annual Diocesan
Appeal. Currently, we have
pledges of $49,826.We have
received pledge cards from 281
parishioners. A giG to the ADA,
no maHer how great or small,
can go a long way. A pledge of $10 or $20 a month can
add up. Even a one-&me giG is helpful to the
cause. To those who have contributed, we are most
grateful. If you have not yet made a giG to the ADA,
we invite you to do so today. There are pledge
cards in the back of the
church. Every dollar raised
to make our goal supports
important diocesan services and every dollar
raised over our goal will be
kept in the parish to help
us build our Religious Educa&on program.
