Catholic Appeal: It is with gratitude that we say to all those who have given generously to the work of the Catholic Appeal that we have reached our assessment goal. That being the case and not wanting our assessment to increase next year, we would ask that any gifts to come be dedicated to Saint John’s and not the Catholic Appeal. Thanks to all those who gave and a promise of prayer for the continued good work of the Catholic Appeal. Fr. Joe .
