As we all know, the “social distancing” practices
and suspension of gathering for Mass have created
unique challenges to the way we practice our faith.
Nothing is more important than all of us taking the
necessary steps to protect and ensure the health and
well-being of our families, friends, neighbors, as well
as our parish.
Although we are physically separated from the
Eucharist---our church is alive and still on mission.
This year our parish share of the Appeal is
$151,672. If we exceed this goal, all excess payments
received will come back to us and we will put that
towards recovery of lost offertory donations.
In addition, this year 10% of all the funds collected
through the ACA (excluding our rebate) will be placed
into a special Parish Solidarity Fund at the
Archdiocese.
In this way, your donations will help us, but will
also help other parishes recover.
The reality is that many of your fellow parishioners
may not be able to participate this year, so your support
is more important than ever.
Be assured of my gratitude for your gift –whatever
the amount— and of my continuing prayers for you and
your loved ones!
