2021 Annual Catholic Appeal - Persevering in Hope
Take a moment to watch and listen to the following six-minute video message from Bishop Weisenburger and other members of our Diocese about the 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal.
My even shorter video below includes information regarding CTSO, ACA and our own Parish financial status ten months into the pandemic.
The faith and generosity of St. Thomas the Apostle parishioners is legendary in our Diocese. While the Church of Southern Arizona persevered in 2020, its 2021 goal is to persevere in hope.
This year's Diocesan Annual Catholic Appeal goal is $4M (same as last year). Our parish monetary goal remains the same as last year: $230,500. Our secondary goal is to increase the number of parish participants. I pray every St. Thomas the Apostle parishioner will reflect, pray and respond to this request as he/she is able.
My birthday (February 23) makes an excellent target date by which to exceed my personal LAST parish ACA goal as pastor. And may God bless you.
