The Catholic Community of Northern Columbia County

Diocesan Appeal FY 24-25

As you can see with the numbers in the chart above, all three parishes continue to donate to the Diocesan Appeal, despite both St. James and St. John the Baptist having already met their assessments. On behalf of the diocese and Bishop Ed, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! While no one from either of those parishes is required to do so, if you are so inclined to make a donation before June 30, 2025, please do so on behalf of St. Joseph’s instead of your home parish. The Church of St. Joseph still needs just over $1300 dollars to meet their assessment. Anyone – parishioner, visitor, snowbird, weekender, benefactor of any of our three parishes (or even a parishioner from another parish in the Diocese of Albany) who would like to help the Church of St. Joseph, please go online to www.theDiocesanAppeal.org and select donate and click on the St. Joseph/Stuyvesant Falls. Every dollar helps. Conversely, you may place a check or cash in an envelope in the weekly offertory marked for the “Diocesan Appeal - for St. Joseph,” or use one of the envelopes in the Gathering Space in any of our Churches and mail a check or money order (must be postmarked by June 30, 2025). Please do not mail cash. Thank you for your generosity! Attention parishioners and benefactors of the Church of St. Joseph, if the assessment is not met by June 2, we will need to have a second collection Sunday, June 8 at both the 10:45 am and 12:30 pm Masses. We’re so close, yet so far. Please give if you can. Every dollar helps! Thank you to all. Father Steve.

Atención feligreses y benefactores de la Iglesia de San José, si la evaluación no se cumple antes del 2 de junio, tendremos que tener una segunda colecta el domingo 8 de junio en ambas Misas de 10:45 am y 12:30 pm. Estamos tan cerca, pero tan lejos. Por favor den si pueden. ¡Cada dólar ayuda! Formas de dar: usted puede colocar un cheque o dinero en efectivo en un sobre en el ofertorio semanal marcado para la «Campaña Diocesana - para San José», o utilizar uno de los sobres en el Espacio de Reunión en cualquiera de nuestras Iglesias y enviar por correo un cheque o giro postal (debe ser matasellado antes del 30 de junio de 2025). Por favor, no envíe dinero en efectivo, ¡y gracias por su generosidad!  Gracias a todos. Padre Steve.
