Dear Parishioners,

THE PARTNERS IN CHARITY APPEAL is made to each parish in the Worcester Diocese which supports 29 agencies and ministries, which comprise the charitable, educational and ministerial mission of our diocese. Our parish effort uses the "in pew" distribution at Mass and mail participation. Our parish goal is $32,000.00, $4.000.00 more than last year's goal. All are encouraged to use a pledge donation over a 10 month period. Pledges made over time consistently enable people to provide a more generous total donation. Please consider the pledge donation this year. The pledge scale below may be helpful.

$10.00 per 10 months $100.00                                 $50.00 per 10 months $500.00

$20.00 per 10 months $200.00                            $100.00 per 10 months $1,000.00
$30.00 per 10 months $300.00

Your donation can be made via the offertory collection or by mail. May our parish continue to support the works of this worthy appeal.
