“Sharing His Love, Encouraging Hope”
Last weekend we have raised $140,524.00 towards our BAA goal . Thank you to all those families that have made a gift or pledge. If you have not yet made your gift to this year’s appeal, please consider doing so in the days ahead. We need everyone to respond. Remember our parish goal is $109,813.10 which we have met. Thank-you! Now every dollar over our BAA goal will go towards our Divine Renovation Fund and will be matched by a few generous donors to help us take care of our growing maintenance needs. Together we can bring hope that can change lives and continue to support our parish mission to “Make Disciples and Disciple Makers”.
