There is still time. A gift to the ADA, large or small, can
go a long way. Consider a one-time gift or a monthly
pledge for six months. There are envelopes in the Gathering Space. Every dollar raised to make our goal supports
important diocesan ministries, and every dollar raised over
our goal will be kept in the parish. To date, we have received 50 gifts/pledges totaling $18,022.25 towards our
goal of $34,989.
To those who have pledged, thank you!
