Fr. Tuan's 30th Anniversary
of the Priestly Ordination
Congratulations to Fr. Tuan on his 30th Anniversary of his Priestly Ordination.
We thank him for his hard work, dedication and service to the regional parishes. May God continue to bless him with good health and an abundance of blessings in his ministry!
Thank you again for your response to the Annual Catholic Appeal this year. Fr. Tuan is grateful for all the gifts you share with our parish. He is sending out a letter this week to those still considering their gift to the ACA campaign. He is inviting you to participate in bringing the light of Christ to others through your gift. The funds pledged will support many archdiocesan-wide ministries including CYO camps, faith formation for all ages, and vocations to the priesthood.
Where are we at with our parish goal? We have received gifts and pledges totaling $8,500 from 67 families of our parish. We are looking forward to surpassing our goal to fully fund our parish project. Keep an eye on the tracking thermometer on our website to see our progress!
Our parish goal this year is $44,328. All gifts received over our goal will be returned to the parish for our parish project which is new fences around Church’s property. Please prayerfully consider how you can participate in helping our parish be a light to others.
There are many ways to make a gift or pledge:
God Gives It All Then Calls Us To Share
