THE 2016 ARCHBISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL “Love never fails”

Thank you to all who have responded to the letter from Archbishop

Gregory. There is still time to respond. If you received the mailing and

have not responded, please take advantage of this time to do so.

In addition to providing for ministries and services throughout the Archdiocese, the Annual Appeal also funds

services that are of great help to other ministries here in our parish.

Your financial support for the work of our parish, our Archdiocese and our Church throughout the world is, in

fact, one way to give Him glory and express our gratitude.

The parish office will be closed on Monday, January 18th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
