ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
Our sincere thanks for your generosity during the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. Your gifts and pledges will
have a lasting impact on or ability to serve the People of God here in Brooklyn and Queens.
As of April 8th our parish had 108 pledges for a total of $27,398, which represents 60% of our parish goal
($53,901). This means that less than 10% of our registered parish families have already pledged almost 50% of our
parish goal! Your generosity is crucial to providing vital pastoral, charitable and educational ministries throughout the
Diocese and all gifts, great or small, help us to do God’s work. We thank ALL who have pledged so far and urge
every family to make an effort to support the Appeal.
May God bless each one of us for responding to this call with so much enthusiasm and generosity!

PRO-LIFE CORNER – “As bad as the economy is, as bad as the war is, the destruction of innocent
human life, especially in the womb, is a greater evil, and correction of this grave evil must take place.
Each of us has a role in making this correction in our duties as citizens.”
