A Walk Through the Year With Our Pilgrims Calendar Fundraiser
We are blessed to have active youth in our parish - this means to say that our Church has a future.
The youth are essential members of our Church. The calendar fundraiser is for our Youth Pilgrimage in July to different Holy sites such as Lourdes, Assisi, Rome and Vatican City. On the pilgrimage, we have 2 priests, a deacon, 13 youth pilgrims and their chaperones
To donate to the Calendar fundraiser:
Pick a special date on the calendar when you would like to offer a Mass intention. For example, a birthday, wedding anniversary, requiem mass or death anniversary of a loved one, or feast day of a favorite Saint.
Donate the amount for that day: January 1st is $1, January 2nd is $2, January 3rd is $3, but it’s past those dates already. So we begin on Monday, January 22nd is $22, February 1st is $32, February 2nd is $33 all the way to December 31st is $365.
Keep in mind that this is different from our usual Mass intentions that go to our parish funds. This calendar fundraiser has been used in other parishes and it’s been very effective such as in St. Mary’s Church in Vacaville. We do hope that you support our Youth in our parish.
Pilgrims will be in the vestibule after masses to take your generous donations. Any monetary support you can give is greatly appreciated. God bless your generosity.
