BISHOP’S APPEAL REPORT 2015
Bishop Gerald has sent out a letter and a
folder describing the needs of the Eparchy
and how the monies would be used to each
of the member of our Cathedral. He is
asking for $200 per household. Many of our
people have been very generous and have
given more and some due to limited
finances give a little less. All members of
the parish are expected participate in this
drive.
Cathedral Goal: $22,400.00
114 Households X $200 = $22,400.00
15 Paid up Pledges = $3,845
7 Pledges are on a payment schedule.
Last Sunday we received pledges
from Joseph & Jennifer Mikitish and John
& Kathleen Wursta and Helen Furka.
Only our paid up pledges are sent to the
Chancery and Bishop Gerald will respond
to you with a Thank you note.
Have you planned to attend at least
one Lenten Service a week during
the Great Fast? Start Today!
