Diocesan Appeal FY 26-27 Continues

The Diocesan Appeal assessments for each of our parishes have been received. St. James Parish went down by about $850, and St. John the Baptist went up by about $230, but the Church of St. Joseph was affected the most. The increase is $1880. The main reason is the generosity of parishioners and donors throughout the year.

I think each of these new assessments is attainable, especially if people pray about making a pledge now and paying over the next 10 months. Please go to the Diocesan Appeal website for more information, to pledge or to make a one-time payment. If you have donated within the last year or two, you should receive information in the mail. If you haven't, envelopes are available in the Gathering Space at each of our churches. Thank you for your past support and for your prayerful consideration in this year's annual appeal.
