• Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) Kickoff

  • The theme for the 2022/2023 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is “Centered in the Eucharist."  The 3-year Eucharistic Revival is currently underway, an invitation to Catholics to be witnesses of our faith. We know that God is engaged and experienced in the Eucharist.
    
    Persons, centered in the Eucharist put their faith in action as grateful Disciples of Christ. While parishes rely on the financial Stewardship of generous parishioners like you through weekly offertory collections, no single parish could exist on its own without the programs, services, and ministries supported through the CSA. 
    
    Your gifts provide support for the education of our seminarians; your future parish priests encourage religious vocations and vocations to married life, help our youth continue to grow in relationship with God, and provide parish management and fundraising support.  Many other ministries can be found at Catholicdos.org.
    
    Please prayerfully consider your response to the CSA Appeal.
    
    Look for Bishop’s Letter and pledge envelope in the mail. Please know that your gift will be attributed to your parish goal and is tax-deductible. 
    
    Visit https://catholicdos.org/parish-giving-directory to give online or return your CSA pledge envelope to your parish. There are extra CSA envelopes available in the entryway of all of the churches.

• During the last Tri-parish council meeting, Fr. Bala and the council decided to only take up a 2nd collection during mass on the 2nd Sunday of every month. It will be mentioned in the bulletin on the first Sunday of every month that there will be a 2nd collection on the following Sunday.

 

• There will be a CCW&M meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 4th at 9 am. Plan to attend the meeting and stay afterwards for lots of fun helping with the Christmas Card making and a pot luck. Bring a dish to pass if you like for the potluck after the card making.
