We still want to urge everybody to fill out a pledge card. If you cannot make a monetary pledge at this time, please mark on the back of the pledge form that you will pray for our parish – That is a pledge. Our goal is to hear from 100% of our registered families. Follow up letters were mailed on December 6th. We will
also be calling families who have not made a pledge. If you have already made a pledge, we thank you.
Beginning November 27, the new Roman Missal goes into effect.
