CURRENT EVENTS

2019 Catholic Services Appeal - It is time for the annual appeal by which the Diocese of Erie and her respective parishes raise revenue to carry on our respective ministries. The promotional materials being distributed, FAITH Magazine and bulletin fliers, explain how the Diocese uses the portion it assesses from parishes; last week and this week some of those materials were included in our weekly bulletins and you can read them at your leisure. The Diocese wants to be clear that the CSA money is used for its various ministries and is separate from the funds used for legal fees and victim reimbursement as a result of child abuse. In recent years we have piggy-backed on this appeal to raise funds for our own parish projects: the renewal of the Social Hall and kitchen, repair of the garage floor, improved lighting around the church and parking lot as well as last year’s effort to upgrade the technology in all of our buildings and install smart TV’s in the classrooms while setting the groundwork for projection capabilities in the church and Social Hall. What a remarkable effort! This year, our Diocesan assessment is $51, 942, a $2,493 increase over last year’s CSA goal of $49,449. Last year our combined goal was $106,700 and we realized over $98,000 of that due to your generous response. For that I am truly grateful.
