POWERS OUR
MISSION
My Dear People,
THIS Sunday only, February 7, I ask
your patience as we once again invite folks in
the Community to respond to the IN-PEW
Appeal for Catholic Charities here in our
Diocese. (Next Saturday at the 4:30 Mass)
Even if you have already responded to
the 2016 Appeal, please take an envelope from
an usher to indicate on the envelope that you
already responded.
Last week's bulletin provided an insert
highlighting the areas in the 8 counties where
your Catholic Charities will help those in need.
St. Bernard Parish is asked to support
this Annual Appeal by contributing $44,997.
Please be generous. Give as you are able.
And - whatever you can do - let LOVE power
your giving; do it for Love.
Again, I thank you for your part in this
Diocesan-wide effort.
Blessings, Fr. Dan
