During the week of Sept. 7th, many of you will receive a letter from Bishop DiLorenzo asking for your support of the 2015 Annual Diocesan Appeal. It is our sincere hope that you will answer our Bishop's request and make a generous pledge to this effort.

Seventeen ministries and programs are supported by the 2015 Appleal including supporting the local needs of our parish. Every year the annual Appeal returns to each parish a portion of the funds collected. Over the past four Appeals, the diocese has returned nearly $4.4 million to the parishes. Our own financial council and parish council make appropriate decisions regarding use of funds received.

All pledges can be paid in ten monthly installments which makes it easy to support the important ministries of our Diocesan church while also supporting our parish needs. Thank you in advance for your partnership in the 2015 Appeal.

We will conduct our In-Pew pledge process at all Masses October 4th and 11th.
