Update: Charity and Development Appeal

Last weekend, I reported that we received a grant from our Bishop through the Charity and Development Appeal (CDA) proceeds and the "Today’s Children, Tomorrow’s Leaders" endowment in the amount of $25,000. The grant was designated to our St. John Bosco School Tuition Assistance program. I thank the Bishop for considering our school for the grant. My thanks, also, to you for your generous support to the CDA. The recent update for our parish participation in the CDA shows that 238 families from our parish community have participated in the appeal so far with a total pledge of $87,717. This represents 102.56% of our total goal of $85,000. I am so glad we made our first goal (monetary) for this year. We are getting very close to making our second goal as well, which is to have 300 families from our parish participate in the appeal this year. I thank everyone who has participated in the appeal. I encourage those who have not yet participated to consider sending their pledge or payment this week. Remember, no amount is too small or too large! Thank you so much. (Link to CDA giving HERE)
