31,505.04Diocesan Annual Appeal
Many have contributed very generously and kindly to the Diocesan Annual Appeal, and we would like to join with the Diocese in expressing our sincere appreciation to you. We have currently received $53,788.04 in donations and pledges. If you have not responded to the Annual Appeal yet, we would encourage you to do so as soon as possible. If you wish, pledges can be paid over seven months which enables you to spread out your payments. A reminder also that this annual diocesan appeal has replaced twelve yearly diocesan collections and lowered the yearly diocesan parish assessment significantly. St. Elizabeth’s portion of this year’s 5.68 million campaign is $83,735 and we need everyone’s help to reach that goal. Any funds raised above our target amount are returned to the parish to be used for our specific needs. We were so grateful last year to reach our goal and have money returned to us. Please give some prayerful and serious consideration to your sacrificial gift and how you can share your gifts with the “larger” Church. Your donation, large or small, DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Only you can determine what is truly a sacrifice. THANK YOU and GOD BLESS.
