COMING UP SOON
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal will take place
in May.
There will
be an informational BAA meeting held
in the school gymnasium following each
of the weekend masses on May 2nd and 3rd. We are
ahead of the appeal here because we ran a three year version of the appeal last
year. We will be asking those who have not made a three year pledge to
the BAA to make a one or two year pledge. The good news is that our three
year pledges have already got us past our BAA goal for this year. So, new
pledge money will all stay right
here at St. Mary’s for the ongoing care of our historic buildings and for
scholarships to our grade school based on financial need. The diocese
will soon mail a description of this year’s appeal to all our households.
CATHOLIC CEMETARIES – SPRING UPDATE
Offices at St. Joseph, Resurrection, and Holy Cross Cemeteries will be
open on Sundays, May 3, 10 & 17 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Family Service Advisors will be available to
assist families with pre-need arrangements and answer questions.
