Catholic Schools Collection
December 25th In Advent 2012, Bishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM. Conv. announced that the second collection on Christmas Day each year would be dedicated solely to Catholic schools in the Diocese of Savannah to provide much needed tuition assistance to
school families seeking a Catholic education. It was decided that each year half of the collection would be divided equally among the 17 Catholic schools in the diocese and the remaining half invested in the Catholic Foundation of South Georgia Endowment, also designated to ensure long-term sustainability of our schools and the needs of our families. In the 2013 annual report, Bishop Hartmayer indicated that the Christmas collection helps ensure that this fund continues to grow and benefit our school programs and our children. “The best experience a youngster can have is a Catholic education and the goal of this endowment is to provide the experience for all of our families.” Please make checks payable to St. John
Church. The collection will be forwarded to the Diocese.

To all those who sent me birthday or Thanksgiving cards—thank you! If you have not received a “thank you “ card from me it’s because a card wasn’t signed or I could not read the handwriting. However, I do “thank you” and promise to keep you in my prayers!
