When the information was merged with our Parish Data Systems information, it did not merge well. We are asking that you please go over your contribution statements and ADA mailing when you receive it – make sure the names, addresses and other information are completely correct. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you. Those families who use the parish envelope system will soon
be receiving statements of contribution(s) for determining the amounts
given by each family in Regular, Special and Development fund
collections. These
statements are done out of courtesy for you and are very useful in
preparing your income tax returns.
We thank you for your continued support ant generosity. PLEASE NOTE: Catholic Foundation and ADA
contribution statements will be mailed to you directly from those
Diocesan Offices. URGENT NEED FOR CONFIRMATION I FACILITATORS The
