CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL The 2023-2024 CSA is underway in our parish. The appeal is an opportunity for us, as a faith family, to join to do the work of the Lord. All families are encouraged to support the appeal. The Church serves each of us in some way and our financial support is needed to continue God’s work in our area. This year, our goal is $63,338. Thank you to those who have filled out a CSA appeal envelope. For those who have not, please do so before you leave church today. There are many challenges facing us today, the shortage of priests is one such challenge, the responsibility of our parish is to help provide diocesan services and ministries such as support for vocations and the education of seminarians is an answer to that challenge.
KISA LASAGNA DINNER will be held on Saturday, October 14th from 4:30-7:00 PM at Holy Assumption Parish located at 5601 Tower Avenue. The group will be offering tasty, tangy (including sauerkraut) and wonderful lasagna. Free will offering for the people of Kisa and the Diocese of Mbeva in Tanzania.
