Parish Income and Expenses - 03/31/2015

Annual Diocesan Appeal - Thanks to all who made a pledge to the Annual Diocesan Appeal. A gift to the ADA, no matter how great or small, can go a long way. A pledge of $10 or $20 a month can add up. Even a one-time gift is helpful to the cause. To those who have contributed, we are most grateful. If you have not yet made a gift to the ADA, we invite you to do so today. There

are pledge cards on the table in the vestibule. Every dollar raised to make our goal supports important diocesan services and every dollar raised over our goal will be kept in the parish to help us with renovations.

The Church dedicates

the month of May to the

Blessed Virgin Mary Madonna of the Rock by Filippo Lippi

ACT OF CONTRITION

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You,

and I detest all my sins because of Your just punishments,

but most of all because they offend You my God,

Who are all good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more

and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Amen
