2019 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, Saint Philip the Apostle Parish, Ashford has reached our goal for the 2019 Annual Catholic Appeal. We are truly grateful to those who responded with such kindness and generosity when asked to work “Hand in Hand with All God’s Children”. While we have made our goal, 64.83% of our parishioners have yet to donate. We are striving to get as close to 100% of participation as possible because our ACA supported ministries need all of our help to do the work of Christ every day. From a client of Catholic Charities, “I want to express my thanks, gratitude and appreciation for your fuel assistance program. Your kindness relieved so much stress. You are always in my prayers.” If you have not made your contribution to the 2019 ACA, or would like to make an additional gift, please contact the Development Office at (860) 886-1928 or visit www.norwichdiocesedevelopment.org.
