Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) - As of February 11 we have received $37,422.00 in pledges toward our goal. This year our parish has been asked to raise $64,000.00. We are grateful to all of you who have made pledges and invite all others to do the same. If all of us cooperate we will be able to meet our goal. If we do not meet this goal , monies will have to be taken from our operating budget and because our collections are taxed 12 1/2% by the Archdiocese, we will end up paying 12 1/2% more. Please use one of the cards located in the pews for the ACA campaign and contribute according to the way God has financially blessed you.
Parish Debt - In order to finalize the Pastoral Center expansion and renovation, our parish borrowed from the Archdiocese $376,280.00. The loan may be paid in 10 years at $4,368.00 monthly payments. We have been encouraged to make larger payments in order to pay for the loan in fewer years. We thank those of you who made pledges for our Capitol Campaign which will make possible these payments and at the same time we'll continue to improve, repair and renovate our parish plant. Even of you did not make a pledge, you are still welcome to use your Building Fund envelope to assist with our parish plant needs.
Capital Campaign - A separate bank account for our building fund-capital campaign was recently opened. Monies from that account are used exclusively for our building project. We request that everyone who made pledges for the capital campaign use the offering envelope marked "Building Fund". The accountant requests that you use a separate check whenever making payments on the capital campaign. Please do not write one check for your parish contribution as well as your capital campaign donation. Write two separate checks and use the proper envelopes so that there will not be any confusion as to which account your donation will go. Our parish is not taxed 12 1/2% by the Archdiocese for donations made to the capital campaign. The counters of the Sunday collections request that you do not use scotch tape or staples in your offering envelopes. Thanks!
