Catholic Ministries Appeal

+JMJ+

Dear SLDM Parishioners,

The Catholic Ministries Appeal (formerly Fruitful Harvest) will begin in our parish September 19-20. Prior to this weekend, you should have received an envelope in the mail from Bishop Doherty with a brochure explaining the many ministries supported by this important appeal, as well as a pledge card and return envelope for mailing. The Appeal provides the opportunity for each of us within our parish to share in the good works of our diocesan family. By giving to the Catholic Ministries Appeal, you are helping to support programs across our diocese for our retired priests as well as new seminarians, for our youth, Newman Centers, deacons, prison ministry, pregnancy centers, and so much more. Our parish family has been asked to raise $492,495.00. In order to reach our goal, I am asking each household to consider a gift that can be paid over the next 16 months.

Please take time to discern your gift this week, as September 19^th & 20^th will be Commitment Sunday, and we’ll ask all parishioners to make a pledge at this time

Under the Mercy,

Fr. Haan
