It will be an ideal outreach tool and will capture the history of our parishioners. Please participate! The scheduled dates for photography and portrait viewing are May 19, 20 and 21st. Our new pictorial directory just won’t be complete without you! Every participating family that selects a pose for the directory will receive a free directory and a complimentary 8x10 portrait.
DIOCESAN/ PARISH SHARE CAMPAIGN ~ Our parish goal for 2011 is $15,800. By supporting the DPSC we promote the Church’s call to serve both on a diocesan level and on a parish level. All monies, after our goal is reached, are returned to the parish. To date $10,797 has been pledged by 31 parishioners.
PARISH COOKBOOKS ~ Special now $3.00. Available in back of church!
EASTER EGG HUNT: next Sunday after 8:30 Mass outside [weather permitting].
PRELIMINARY RESULTS from the Commitment Sunday for Our Lady of Mercy Capital Campaign $413,399 pledged! This represents less than 40% of parishioners responding. We realize many are waiting for their tax refunds, but please turn in your pledges soon in order that we do not need to follow-up. Thank you for your generosity!
