“TO TEACH WHO CHRIST IS” BONUS
To date our total for the “To Teach Who Christ
Is “ program is: $680,551.00. Thank you to all who
have contributed. One very generous parishioner is
so moved that we are so close to the goal the Archdiocese set us of $704,000.00 that he has promised
to pledge an additional $10,000.00 in funds to match
any other parishioner’s donation, dollar for dollar,
up to the full amount. This puts us incredibly close
to raising the full amount, after which any money
pledged comes entirely to the parish. If you would
like to pledge any amount, it’s not too late, and no
amount is too small! You will find pledge cards in
the back of both churches, or ask an usher and they
will gladly assist you.
