The 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal is now underway in our parish! This is an exciting time of year when all parishes are working together to accomplish what cannot be done alone, supporting over 60 ministries and services throughout the Archdiocese. You will be receiving a letter from Father Gary this week asking for your support of the Appeal, and this coming weekend Deacon Anh will share what the Annual Catholic Appeal means to him.
