Please prayerfully consider your gift to this year’s Diocesan Annual Appeal. St. Mary’s is given a target goal by the Diocese based on a percentage of our ordinary income. This year's target goal is $76,516, about $500 more than last year's goal. Any amounts received above this target goal are returned to the parish and are not counted as income for computation of future goals. Similarly, the parish is obliged to pay any shortfall in payments from this goal.

Use the envelope you received in the mail or give online by clicking on the image to the left. As a “rule of thumb” it is suggested we strive to give back to God a biblical “tithe” of our income. That’s 10% divided - 5% to the parish, 1% to the Diocese through your gift to this annual appeal, and 4% to other worthy causes, which include the three diocesan “Combined Collections” and donations to our parish capital improvements fund.

Thanks and God bless you for your continued generosity.
