Because We Are Catholic

As we look forward to returning to a more normal schedule of activities and sacramental celebrations, you are invited once again to participate in the Annual Catholic Appeal this weekend by making a gift. If your circumstance permit and your family is blessed with good health and employment, please consider increasing your gift to make up for those who are unable to make a gift at this time.

There are several ways at our parish to contribute to the ACA this year, if you are able.

First of all, you can fill it out and mail it back in.
Secondly, you can fill it out and put it in the collection or drop it by the parish office.
Thirdly, you can come to the parish office and they will help you to fill it out and even give a different pledge card.
Fourthly, you can go to aca.archstl.org which is a direct link to the Archdiocese to give online.

We appreciate your faithful generosity, sharing Christ's love through the ministries of His Church. God bless you!
