2023 Annual Parish Appeal – Update & Call to Action
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
As you hopefully are aware from the Financial Performance article in the October 29 Bulletin, this year’s Annual Parish Appeal (APA) collections are lagging behind the pace of previous years. Specifically, total APA collections through September 30 are $173,677 or 74% of our Fee/Assessment ($233,581). Consequently, we must collect approximately $60,000 by December 31 to meet our obligation. If APA collections do not reach the $233,581 level by December 31, we will be required to utilize precious Operating Revenues, such as Offertory Collections, to fund the shortfall.
To those parishioners who have already completed your pledge, we are truly grateful. We would ask you to prayerfully consider making an “extra” contribution. You may utilize the “red” envelope in the bi-monthly envelope packet for this purpose or mail an extra contribution to the Administrative Office.
To those parishioners who are in the process of completing your pledge, thank you for your diligence. Please continue to use the “red” envelopes as you complete your pledge.
To those parishioners who have not yet contributed to the 2023 APA, we ask you to prayerfully consider making a contribution at this time. You may utilize the red envelopes for this purpose or mail a contribution to the Administrative Office.
Remember that all collections above the $233,581 level remain with our parish and can be utilized for our financial needs.
Thank you for your continuing support of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish.
