Charity and Development Appeal

02-11-2022Weekly Flocknote MessageFr. James Aboyi, VC

It is the time of year again when we are all called to participate in the annual Charity and Development Appeal (CDA). I thank all of our parishioners who participated in the appeal last year. Despite the pandemic, we went beyond our goal of $85,000 by over 98%. A total of 239 families in our parish participated in the CDA last year with a total gift of $88,500. I also thank those who have already participated in the appeal this year. Our parish goal remains the same this year at $85,000. 

The CDA provides critical funding to more than 70 programs and agencies across four counties in our Diocese. These groups serve the people in our parishes, Catholic schools, and local communities. You become the heart and hands of Jesus to children, families, and individuals with your gift to the CDA. You may have already received your donation envelope directly from the Diocese. If not, we will be providing you with an envelope next weekend. I invite you and your family to pray about how you are going to support the CDA this year. 

Construction Updates From the Building Committee

The site plan review comments have been addressed and returned to the City Waiting for any additional comments from the City. Grading and demolition permit is ready to issue as soon as the salvage permit is finalized. The team is working on getting the stamped approved salvage drawings for the inspector to sign off on. Building review comments are architecturally complete and the engineers were given a deadline of Thursday, Feb 10, to have their comments addressed.
