2005 Annual Catholic Appeal Update

We have $19,175.00 from 57 donors, and have reached 64% of our 2005 parish goal. If you have not yet given, please consider a gift today and help us meet our goal. Remember, our parish will receive 25 percent of all funds we raise above our goal. So each gift has the potential to increase parish revenue while still supporting the ministries funded by the Catholic Appeal. Thank you.

Thank you to all supporters of the Annual Catholic Appeal.
