Letter From the Pastor: September 14, 2025

September 2025

Dear Parishioners,

We still have time to meet the goal of $359,700 for this year’s Cardinal’s Stewardship Appeal. The goal for the parish, as you may know, is determined by the Archdiocese.

Compared to prior years, the parish is woefully behind in reaching its goal. We have usually met and exceeded our goal by this time of the year. However, that is not the case this year. To date, 147 parishioners have donated $204,338. Looking at it from another perspective, more than 3,200 households of the parish have yet to contribute to this year’s Appeal. Unfortunately, if our goal is not met, we will be obliged to take the outstanding amount out of the parish’s operating funds. That would take a big chunk of money out of the parish’s FY26 operating budget.

Please donate to this year’s Cardinal’s Appeal to support the charitable works of the archdiocese.

Envelopes for your donations are available in the church, or you may donate online at the parish’s website (link) and identify your donation, 2025 Cardinal’s Appeal.

Sincerely in the Lord,
Fr. Yesalonia
