2005 Annual Catholic Appeal
Parishioners Help Improve the Lives of Many
Our appreciatiion goes out to all parishioners who have made a gift to the 2005 Catholic Appeal. To date,
we have received $7,607 from 37 donors and are at 9% of our parish goal of $88,900. Within the next few
weeks, the Catholic Appeal office will mail out a pledge form to all those past Annual Catholic Appeal
donors who have not yet given in 2005. We hope you will consider a pledge at that time. Together,
through Our Faith At Work, we will meet the needs of our Catholic family. Thank you again for your
support.
