Dear "To Teach Who Christ Is" donor,

The 60% from the program goes directly into ourparish account. Anything above that we get 100%.At the end of the 5 year period we hope to use themoney to purchase a new boiler for our Church.This is way overdue! If you have anyquestions about your pledge, please call (312)534-8500.

Thank you for your generosity and please continuefulfilling your pledge. St. Florian is counting onyou!

Yours in Christ,Fr. Robert Marchwiany, Pastor

A big thank you to all who took part in the "ToTeach Who Christ Is" Campaign. We appreciateyour generosity. The Archdiocese credits us everymonth with 60% of your CURRENT payments.Some people are DRAMATICALLY delinquentin their payments which slows down our goal.We really can't move forward until we receivemost of the funds for the boiler. If you have anyquestions about your payments, please call theArchdiocese at 312-534-8500.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Robert Marchwiany, Pastor
