A Word From Your Pastor
Our parish is moving to the end of the 2022 Bishop's Annual Appeal, with a total pledge amount, as of June 15th, of $195,000. This means we have surely met our diocesan assigned goal of $103,000. Currently, all pledges and gifts above that goal is returned to the parish for our expenses.
As we draw down on the campaign, I want to first thank all who have made a pledge or gift. I do that, firstly, in the name of our new bishop, Earl Fernandes, who will benefit from your goodness to the diocese. I also urge those who have not yet make a pledge or gift to do so just a s soon as possible.
I say all of this fully knowing that we are a parish, like many others, which has not recovered from the pandemic. Many have just not returned to regular, faithful worship with us, which saddens me very much. I pray they will be back with us. We need them and I believe they also need us.
Let us continue to reach out - contact those who once sat next to you in the pews and invite them home.
Dear St. Edward the Confessor, bring them back, we pray.
