Archdiocesan Annual Appeal
Sunday, January 17th, 2010 marked the beginning of the 22nd Catholic Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. The goal of our Archdiocese is $402,000 and our parish goal is $62,000. Last year, 314 of the faithful of our parish participated in the Appeal.
We are encouraging many more to become involved this year. Funds garnered from the Appeal assists the following programmes: the Archdiocesan Humanitarian Relief Fund, Archdiocesan Insurance Fund, Archdiocesan Pastoral Programmes, our Family Island parishes’ assistance, Benedictine Sisters Retirement Fund, Archdiocesan Communications, Disaster Relief Fund, the airing of E.W.T.N on local cable television and the continued formation of our Seminarians, Deacons and Clergy.
All members of our parish are encouraged to make a pledge. No gift is too big or too small. Please see how you can help... |
