Catholic Charities Appeal 2023: Giving Hope to All

Picture
This year's Catholic Charities Appeal began with the In-Pew Weekend of May 13-14. Many thanks to Suzanne Laurito for inspiring us to help the plight of others.. Click here to view the annual appeal's video featuring Archbishop Pérez and many beneficiaries of your support for the over 180 programs conducted by Catholic Charities.  Our parish goal is $78,762.  This is the same as last year.  Let's see if we can reach it and help others in need, so that we may continue to be the presence of Christ in the world. Archbishop Pérez notes that "Your gift will feed the hungry, help keep after school programs open, provide pregnancy support for women,  educate individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities, support our mission parishes, help care for our retired clergy and so much more." Every little bit helps.

Parish Goal: $78,762            Total Gifts:  81          Present Amount: $29, 830     Percentage of Goal:  37.87%

Parish Planning

The Parish Pastoral Council, with help from the Finance Council, is tasked with carrying out the Parish Pastoral Plan 2021-2026 that also incorporates the findings from the Disciple Maker Index and input from the many "listening sessions" of the Synod on Synodality. We have placed all three documents here for your consideration. Please let us know your feelings and how you can help make these a lived experience.
