The Peace of the Lord be with you. I hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe.
These are unique times, and yet the mission entrusted by our Lord to his Church –to teach, to serve and to sanctify the world - continues. Thanks to the support of our 2.8 million brothers and sisters in Christ year after year, the Appeal can continue to support this noble mission of the Church. While I am grateful for your continued support of the parish, if your circumstances permit, I encourage you to participate in this year’s effort. Our participation this year is essential to make it possible for the Archdiocese of New York to continue to sustain families and parish communities most impacted by the pandemic, as well as to provide specialized care for our elderly clergy.
As you consider your gift, please realize that you are not alone in this effort.
To date our parish has received 128 pledges, totaling $79,807. This is over 50% of our goal of $154,500.

The
Cardinal’s Annual Appeal was established in 1979. Prior to 1979, it was known as the Catholic Charities Appeal. The name change signified an increase in the scope of the effort from not only charities, but to what the
Appeal is today: the financial support of the pastoral, educational and charitable works of the Archdiocese of New York. In 2010, then Archbishop Timothy Dolan changed the name to the
Stewardship Appeal.“Stewardship” asks that donors demonstrate their thanks to God for their many blessings by making an offering of their time, talent and treasure to the Church. Upon his elevation to the College of Cardinals in 2012, the campaign became the
Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal.
