A collection is taken up on Thursday, May 17 during Ascension Thursday, a holy day of obligation.
May 13 is the Catholic Communication Campaign Collection
The second collection on May 13 supports the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). CCC develops media programs, projects and resources that promote the Gospel values. Fifty percent of the collection supports local communication efforts, such as televised Mass and diocesan papers. The other 50% supports the development and production of a wide range of national media programming. Visit usccb.org/ccc to learn more!
May 6, 2012 is the Parish Insurance Collection
Every year, the Parish pays over $110,000 in insurance bills alone. This annual collection helps defray the cost of these expenses. The breakdown of this total is: $49,000 covers our boilers, crime, fire, theft and overall liability for our buildings; $46,000 covers the medical, life insurance, long-term disability and retirement for our employees; $17,000 covers Clergy insurance expenses. These are extraordinary expenses, but necessary for the protection and well-being of our Parish employees and facilities. Thank you for your customary generosity!
