Bulletin: The Epiphany of the Lord
Our parish relies on your generosity. Your donations each year directly impact our ability to minister to those in need, to provide special programs such as Alpha and CGS, to offer small group faith studies, to maintain our buildings, and to grow our parish school.
Empowering our Parish Vision
Your Project Advance tax-deductible donation funds works such as Youth and young adults ministry, new Catholic schools, programs supporting families, feeding homeless and vulnerable, pastoral ministry and support for the hospitalized.
Once the parish goal is met, all additional funds are directed back to parish projects identified by our Pastor and Parish Leadership Team. Thank you so much for your generosity.
We made it!
Our target for 2025 is $49,100. We raised $63,000.
Thank you to all who have contributed! โฅโฅโฅ
