August 2024 Bishop's Ministries Appeal Update
As of July 31, we have reached 70% of our Bishop’s Ministries Appeal goal! Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to the many good works that the appeal supports. A reminder that that all donations collected in excess of our goal return to our parish. There is till time to donate if you haven’t already. Be sure to check out the wonderful video on this page describing the reach of the Bishop's Ministries Appeal to parishes, schools, retired priests, CYO, and other important needs of our diocese.
I urge you to please be part of reaching, and hopefully exceeding, our goal. Full details can be found below. Remember, 100% of all donations collected in excess of our goal come back to the parish. We used part of our refund for last year's Appeal to upgrade our sound system so people with bluetooth-capable hearing aids can listen to the Mass on their hearing aids in our church.
New for the 2024 Bishop's Ministries Appeal is our "750 Club". All persons who donate $750 or more to this year's Appeal will receive an invitation to join a special reception in recognition of their generosity in the first quarter of 2025. Please consider joining the "Club", and thanks again to all of you for your support!
