Dear Parishioners,

We are beginning a new year of the Pastoral Services Appeal. This year our parish assessment remains the same as last year, which is $113,000. A new program that has been added to this year’s PSA is funding of the Priest Pension Fund for our Diocesan Priests.  This will save our parish $11,000 from our annual budget so it is like a decrease in our assessment.  Last year our parish contributed $128,000.00 to the PSA and the parish received $15,000.00 in rebates. 

We are putting the final touches on our Small Hall refurbishing and this project which was funded by rebates from the last two years will be complete by the end of March.  We wanted to complete this project while no groups were able to utilize the building.  It will be ready for use once we get the go-ahead to resume indoor gatherings. 

Thank you to all who have participated in the PSA in the past and I invite and strongly encourage all to participate in this year’s appeal. Letters from the Diocese have been mailed to past supporters of the PSA. These letters explain this year’s appeal. 

Included to the right is a Link to the Diocese video presentation for this year’s appeal. 
 

Thank you in advance for participating in this appeal and remember that every dollar above our assessment will be returned to the parish.  Due to the continued pandemic and financial uncertainty, we will use our rebates to help balance our budget.

Please make your pledge online by using the PSA link below or fill out a Pledge Card that can be found in the church. Return the Pledge Card in the collect basket, drop it off at the Parish Office or mail it to the return address shown on the card. 

Thank you for your continued support of the PSA and our parish.

Fr. George P. Blais
