2009 ANNUAL DIOCESAN APPEAL THIS WEEKEND

GROWING IN FAITH TOGETHER

This is PLEDGE WEEKEND.  After the homily at all the Masses, please participate in the Offertory Procession.  Bring your pledge form in its envelope to the altar as a sign of your faith and an expression of love.  This is an opportunity for us to unite with all Catholics in the Diocese to share our blessings and to show our concern for one another.  If you’ve forgotten to bring it today, blank envelopes and pens/pencils are available in the pews.  For your convenience, you may also take your pledge forms/envelopes to the rectory office, or simply drop them in the collection basket.  Your participation and gift is important.
