WHAT'S NEW
CATHOLIC CHARITIES
As of Tuesday, May 6th, our parish has collected $241,242 from 903 of our
2,200 families. Pledge cards have been sent out again to those who have not yet given. You
are asked to look into your heart and give a donation - no donation is too small as long
as you give as much as you are able.
Please consider increasing your donation this year, by pledging a larger amount, and
making payments in several installments. A gift of $100 is less than $2 per week. Try to
join the Large Gift donor group by giving a minimum of $250. If you are employed by a
firm, that "matches gifts" to charitable institutions, secure a form from your
personnel office and forward the completed form to Catholic Charities Appeal Office. Your
contribution is used to bring strength and stability to the community. Please give
generously. Submit a pledge to your parish, donate online at www.1-for-all.org, or call
856-4494 to make a pledge. Appeal 2008 Support It
