As we continue our Annual Parish Appeal, thank you to all who have already made a pledge to support the wonderful works the diocese provides to churches throughout our region. Your generosity helps strengthen the mission Jesus Christ as it is carried out through His Church in the six counties of Southwester Pennsylvania. If you have not yet made a contribution, there is still time to do so.
When you give to the Annual Parish Appeal, you help your neighbors encounter Jesus and experience His mercy while also cultivating His love in your own heart. Every time you set aside your own desires to return some of the Lord’s blessings back to Him in gratitude, you grown in virtues such as mercy and generosity. In doing so, you will discover new blessings that the Lord is eager to share with those who recognize and return His love.
Of the 5,700 registered families in our parish, 2,042 are active families contributing on a weekly or monthly basis. However, only 729 of those families currently participate in the Parish Appeal program. Our goal this year is $254,988. How wonderful it would be if we could double that number from 729 to 1,458! Keep in mind that any amount raised over our goal stays here at Mary, Queen of Saints.
If you have already made your gift to the Parish Appeal, thank you again! If you have not yet contributed, please prayerfully consider doing so. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference in the life of our parish and the Church.
