The 2023 Diocesan Annual Campaign, Together In Faith, Together In the Eucharist has begun. This campaign provides the vast majority of the financial resources needed to operate Diocesan ministries and programs, which in turn provide support for many parish level programs such as Catholic Education, Life and Dignity programming and Vocations.  View the 2022 Impact Report video below.

As in the past, previous donors will receive a letter from Bishop Gainer asking for your support of the 2023 campaign.  Our parish’s obligation is $159,984.00 This is a decrease of $3,329.00 from last year’s obligation of $163,313.00.  We ask that you prayerfully consider your gift for the upcoming year. Your donation allows the Diocese to continue to support meals to families

On Thanksgiving Day, our tree will be on display in the narthex, decorated with gift tags for seven different organizations. You may select a tag from the tree, purchase that item and return your gift (wrapped or unwrapped) to the parish office or the narthex.

Or you may choose a tag from our virtual Christmas Giving Tree  at 2022 Giving Tree.  GIFTS ARE DUE ON DECEMBER 18 AT 1:00 PM. 

Select a virtual tag, purchase your gift, and return directly to parish office or in the narthex.  When the gift arrives, the tag will be matched to the gift.

You will notice many organizations are asking for gift cards. Many are distributed to clients early, so they can shop for their families which provides a sense of ownership and pride.  Remember to shop early so our elves can deliver throughout December.  And as always, your generosity is very much appreciated.
