Click on the vidoes to the left to hear from our own parishioners about the current status--September 2020-- of the Catholic Appeal. St. John update is presented by Libby Often and St. Mary update is presented by Lori McDonald.

While many aspects of life have come to a standstill, the work of our diocesan ministries continue as we strive to bring Christ’s love and compassion to those who rely on our guidance and assistance.

• The sick and homebound continue to receive spiritual support and information over the phone from the Archdiocese’s Faith Community Nurses and Chaplains. 
• Our Pregnancy Help centers continue to provide resources and assistance for women facing crisis pregnancies. 
• Those suffering from addiction still need support and guidance, and many have greater need for counseling and spiritual support during this time of heightened anxiety. 
• And, now more than ever, our parishes and schools have come to rely on the expertise and support from Central Ministries.  These ministries and offices have worked tirelessly with all parishes to secure government funding, provided us with guidance, resources, and supplies to safely restart Mass, and offered webinars and tools to maintain our virtual connections so that we can continue our evangelization efforts.

The Annual Catholic Appeal funds the ministries that provide these resources as well as many others that enable us to continue tending to the spiritual needs of our parishioners and serving our brothers and sisters most in need during this pandemic. Just as our parish has continued it’s work during these challenging times, adapting and adjusting to the crisis, so too have the ministries funded through your support of the Catholic Appeal. 

Our participation as a parish is so important to the success of our parish campaign and the Catholic Appeal overall.  If you are able, I ask that you show your support by making a gift today. Every gift makes a meaningful difference, and your participation is very much appreciated. If you have already donated to the Catholic Appeal.  Thank you.  Especially during these difficult times, your support helps those served by our ministries   

Our parish is blessed to have such wonderful and supportive parishioners like you.
May God continue to bless you and all whom you hold dear

In Christ,

Fr. Brian
