CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL During this Easter Season; we want to share a brief update on our Catholic Services Appeal. We are now in the seventh month of this year’s appeal and our parish is close, but not yet at our goal. With a focused effort in the next few weeks, we can finish strong. If you can help or have been considering a gift, we ask you to please prayerfully respond at this time. We especially invite those who can consider a leadership gift to help us close the remaining gap. Every gift matters. Every household’s participation moves us closer to supporting the vital ministries of our diocese. Thank you to all who have already given so generously. Let us move forward together in gratitude and hope during this sacred season
