Dear Parishioners:

Over the past few weeks we have completed the in pew

process for the 2018 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal.

Thanks to all who have participated in this year’s

appeal. I ask those who have not had the chance to do

so to prayerfully consider making a gift in the future.

We will continue to update our parishes giving amounts

throughout the year. We will be conducting our follow

up weekend shortly.

I also want to thank all those who worked so hard, often

behind the scenes, to make the Appeal process go so

smoothly. Thanks for all your help.

May God bless you and your loved ones in the week to

come.

Fr. George

**********************************

Queridos Feligreses

En las últimas semanas, hemos completado el proceso

en el banco para la Campaña Anual del Arzobispo de

2018.

Gracias a todos los que han participado en la apelación

de este año. Les pido a aquellos que no han tenido la

oportunidad de hacerlo que consideren en oración hacer

un regalo en el futuro. Continuaremos actualizando

nuestras parroquias dando cantidades durante todo el

año. Realizaremos nuestro fin de semana de

seguimiento en breve.

También quiero agradecer a todos aquellos que

trabajaron tan duro, a menudo entre bastidores, para que

el proceso de apelación sea tan fluido. Gracias por toda

tu ayuda.

Que Dios los bendiga a ustedes y a sus seres queridos

en la semana que viene.

Padre George

Archdiocese, including our own parish. If you have yet
