ARCHBISHOP’S CATHOLIC APPEAL 2014
Most past contributors to the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal will receive a mailing from Archbishop Sample. The Appeal provides funds to support essential parish-based ministries that would find
it difficult, if not impossible, to operate solely on parish funds. This year’s goal for St. Stanislaus is $5,924. February 22-23rd is Commitment Weekend for the 2014 Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal. If you received a personalized commitment card in the mail please bring it to Mass with you as we join together to support our Catholic Church.
