USE YOUR GIFTS IN SERVICE TO ONE ANOTHER     Thank you!  Our gratitude to the Lord and our generosity to others has raised over $29,000.00 to date for the 2008 DPAA.  You too can answer God’s call to share your gifts by helping to support the work of your Church in all areas of ministry funded by gifts to the DPAA.  Your gift will feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, provide resources for our parishes and schools, educate our children, care for our retired priests, strengthen families, and fight for the unborn.  Some of the ministries funded by the Appeal benefit all of us.  But a lot of the ministries benefit our brothers and sisters in need.  Ninety-two cents or less of every dollar given to the Appeal is used for ministry and service.  Once our parish reaches our goal, any additional funds we collect will be returned to our parish to use for capital improvements.  Please make a gift to the Appeal and change lives for the better each and every day.  Respond with a grateful and glad heart for all God has done for you.  May we all be blessed for all that we do for one another.  Thank you again for your generosity.  God bless you!
