That’s our main problem! Don’t you pay your mortgage & car payments when you are on vacation??

THE ARCHBISHOP’S APPEAL: Thank God for all the blessings you received in 2010 by making a generous
thanksgiving gift to your Melkite Catholic Church in America. The annual Archbishop’s Appeal officially ends in all the
parishes of the Eparchy on 31 December 2010. However, gifts to the Appeal will continue to be received and
credited to your parish until 31 January 2011 for anyone who makes an end-of-year, tax-deductible donation.
Your gift means so much to so many! Thank you for your generosity. May God bless you and all your family in the
New Year.
