Did you know?

Last year, our Parish specifically received funding from the ACA through an Ensuring Parish Visibility Grant that supported valuable ministries such as:

• Our Stewardship Program for Evangelization and Discipleship
• Parish couples participated in “God’s Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage” sponsored by the Office of Respect Life, Family and Social Responsibility
• The Catholic Renewal Office trained and assisted our fellow Parishioners in the “Divorced Catholics Survival Guide”
• Saving the best for last, Mr. Jacob R. Wessel, has been serving in our Parish via Kenrick-Glennon Seminary

Here are some addiotional ways your gifts to the ACA are used.  By supporting these valuable ministries as a Parish, we are fulfilling our responsibility to Human Dignity, Social Responsibility, Catholic Education, Missionary Discipleship and Cultural Leadership.

• Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service
• Parish Food Pantries
• Elementary School Assistance
• Permanent Diaconate
• Archdiocesan Seminary
• Elementary Teachers Educational Fund         
• Religious Formation
• Care for Active and Retired Priests
•  

This year we are guided by the precious words that mean so much to our faith, Thy Will Be Done.  In challenging times, our ministries are needed more than ever, and we can respond to these needs through the ACA.  Every Parish Family is needed this year for their prayers and pledges.

Lord God, we thank You for the untold blessings You have bestowed upon us. We offer these blessings back to You. We lay before You the labors and fruits of the Annual Catholic Appeal. We pray that our sole desire be to serve Your holy will. United as Catholics, let us be reminded of our baptismal call to follow our Lord Jesus Christ in His service to others. We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
