After one weekend inviting the community to support St Mary's Parish in South Sudan in building a rectory we raised $6,100.00. The total projected cost of the project is $7,600.00. We are almost there. Please consider helping. This will enable Fr. Samuel to stay longer in his parish and sleep in a safe home. Also this will enable the community to have the Blessed Sacrament reserved for communion services when Fr. Samuel cannot fly into the parish. Thank you for your generosity.
Also if you have not made a pledge to the Diocese of Amarillo for the 2016-2017 United Catholic Appeal, please consider giving at least $100. That's $10 a month for ten months. We are short about $2,500.00 to meet our quota.
Finally, this weekend I will be introducing the new Principal of St Joseph's School. It has been such a blessing to have worked with Angi Seindenberger as principal for the last 8 years. Now we wish her well as Head of School at Holy Cross Catholic Academy. To build on the great work that Angi and her staff have accomplished we have a wonderful, gifted and energetic new principal that is excited about this opportunity. Let's welcome the new principal with open arms and hearts as the latest addition to a disciple-making team at St Joseph's.
