2007 CATHOLIC CHARITIES PARISH APPEAL
Lent is a season of giving: giving up, giving in, forgiving, and giving to others. Please consider
Catholic Charities for a special donation as we begin the 2007

Catholic Charities pledge envelopes are in your pew today. Please be generous. You can direct your pledge to a certain area of need. Pledges can be paid in monthly or quarterly installments, making it easier to be charitable. See the envelope for details. Every donation is important! Thank God for the blessings God has given to you by sharing with others. If you have already made your 2007 pledge by mail, thank you for your commitment to help us help your neighbors in need.
