Thank you for your generous giving to the Hope Appeal last Fall. As stated during the fundraising, the Diocese returned funds that parishioners donated above the parish goal. This week, we received over $27,000. These funds will be restricted in use to the same ministries in the parish as they were earmarked for at the Diocesan level (youth ministry, Catholic school support, family life ministries, catechesis, etc.). They can also be used for capital improvements at St. EAS. Your generosity continues to reach not only our local community, but it strengthens the good work of the Church at the Diocesan level. Thank you.
