I am very happy to offer congratulations to all of you who have made a pledge to the Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal.
As of Friday, June 23, we have surpassed our target. Here is the good news: On a goal of $92,000, 293 parishioners of St. Gregory Barbarigo have pledged $94,860, which is 103% of our assessment. Once again, in every year since 2011 our parish has gone over goal, including the highly successful Renew + Rebuild capital campaign of last year. I know that some pledges that have been made to the cardinal’s appeal have yet to be recorded and I will continue to update. I thank you so much for your response to my plea of a few weeks ago. It made the difference, and I am grateful. Remember, the cardinal’s appeal is part of our annual membership responsibility and it funds the important work of the archdiocese in its mission to Catholic charities, scholarships for regional schools, enhancement of religious education programs, support of retired priests, and much more. Thanks for coming through once again.
