Our Bishop, Cardinal DiNardo, is asking each parish to support him in a capital campaign. We have two choices in how we go about fulfilling this. It is best explained by Fr. Fred in his homily last Sunday. We can just do the Bishop’s campaign or we can include the imminent needs of our parish in a Parish Campaign. Due to the heavy rains and alerts last weekend, our attendance was down. If you are one of those who were not able to make it Sunday or have yet to respond to the survey, please do so this Sunday or call the Church office to respond. The Surveys will be in the back of the Church. They can be placed in the collection baskets.
