The Parish Appeal
The parish makes eight appeals annually for the support of those most in need. These are usually spaced six weeks apart. We rarely appeal for the parish’s own financial support. The last parish appeal was in 2011. It has become essential to update records and encourage ongoing contributions, especially as costs have risen significantly in recent years. Currently, many parishioners are not engaged in the regular financial support of our parish community.
On Feb 8/9 Fr Richard will preach the parish appeal. You will be invited, then, to either update your support, or to enter into a new commitment. Every donation no matter the size, is valued and will be used effectively to further the parish's mission and care for the community, for the greater glory of God. AMDG.
