ANNUAL APPEAL
A few statistics and potential motivation to assist fellow Catholics in the Diocese of Lexington with a contribution to the Annual Appeal:
• Provide support for the priest retirement fund • Assist in funding scholarship for seminarians • Assist the small parishes in Eastern Kentucky who would not survive without Diocesan support • Your contribution doubles as we have a match of funds up to $4000 • Currently only 40 (forty) families have donated thus far • Our Parish goal is $22,491, donations thus far $6,786, meaning we are achieving only 30% of our goal • If we totally match the $4000 giving us $8000 more, we would be at 65% of our goal; not at 100%, BUT BETTER THAN 30% • Opportunity with year end giving, one also gets a tax deduction • Let’s get to 65% or more.
