Annual Appeal for the Archdiocese 2021
Pledge materials remain in the Gathering Space. You can mail them directly to the archdiocese, or return to the collection baskets in church.

As you can imagine, the life and ministry of the Church needs our support now as much as ever, as we consider the effects the pandemic has had on finances. I am grateful for all you can share, as is Cardinal Tobin and all our archdiocesan officials and leaders who work each day to support the life and ministry of parishes like our very own.
